    Yep, this.
  • I decided to stay at home when I found out I was pregnant with our second child only 3 months after having our first child.  I was excited; I thought I would get to concentrate on raising our girls while tending our garden, and pursuing my hobbies!  I thought I knew what I was getting myself into, but I had no idea!  I knew it was going to be "hard" and it wasn't going to be sitting around all day; but I did not know the emotional and mental toll of spending 24/7 with 2 toddlers would take on me. I am an introvert by nature, so I did not think the lack of adult communication would bother me; however, I found myself bitter and envious of my husband when he would talk about the simple interactions he would have with co-workers.  My girls are 29 months and 15 months old now and I feel like I merely "survived" the past year.  I really opened up to my husband recently about how I feel and he has been amazing.  I credit his love and care for me and our girls as the driving force to get myself out of the depression I had been sucked into.  

    Now that I feel more like myself, I am trying to get back on track to being the mom I wanted to be from the beginning; but I don't even know where to begin!!  I have been researching Montessori home environments but feel like I have no time to really invest in making such major changes, because it would be major!  I have enough toys and stuff to run a daycare because we have so many family members that LOVE to buy the girls STUFF!  Meanwhile, we are living off of one income less than $50 above welfare program standards, so we do a lot of DIY and frugal self-sufficient style living to make ends meet.  So, in an effort to figure out how to make these life style changes, I have taken to this discussion board to reach other SAHM that may be able to share with me their similar experiences and/or who can provide me with resources or information to help.  Thank you, I look forward to any and all comments you are willing to share!  Megan
    We aren't a "discussion board" here. This board is a community of friends; the SAHM board would probably be better fitted for you. Or maybe even posting in the month your children were born as this board is for moms with 6-7 month-ish children. (Unless they are STM's! :)

  • Sorry about that, thought I was in the SAHM Discussion Board.  Apparently I got turned around somewhere!
  • #2 Why is all the crazy coming out the woodwork today?

    I was wondering the same thing!

    She posted on the wrong board, FFS. Just let her know and move on with your day. No need to call her crazy.

    Considering the heat we used to throw on this type of thing, I was thinking we had gone relatively soft...  She even replied back!  The number of gifs on this thread is an embarassment to our old selves...

    Lol I'll give you that much! I guess I just don't get why there's any heat at all for something like this.

    But then again I've always been a softie.

    1. The crazy was just a general saying as there's been two random posters within two posts of each other. No one was directly calling her crazy. 
    2. No one is giving her heat. She was directed to the correct board.

  • With all the screwy things going on with TB she probably was on the SAHM board and drunk Bump posted her thread here instead.
