I'm Currently Feeling: 


Am I classed a SAHM? I mean I'm on the telephone to online banking of all people 'you have one dependant is that right' ...yes ....'awww how old?' hello I'm on the phone to sort my money out here 'you back at work' ...yes I work from home ...and people seem to think thats pretty easy then! Its not its draining tbh not sure about other peoples sah jobs but I get spots of being distracted, can't think, concentrate etc. even if Stu has her.

Based on my circumstances where we both are at home, both work from home any Mum who can get up have baby up fed, dressed, get ready themselves and be in work by 9 I say woman power I know if I wasn't sharing the load of Caitlin I'd be drained and that too is woman power and should be proud being at home with your babies being their main carer as well as looking after a house & lets face it the hubby/OH it's not sitting down watching TV all day some people just don't have the financial ability to take these options I guess so are shocked when others do maybe?

I think alot of people do think your lazy if your a sahm but mostly these people are people that havnt had children and dont know how busy you are and personally ive found that being a mum is a lot harder than when i was working full time and my job is quiet stressfull at times i think being a mum is a 24 hour job, but im due back to work in january and ive decided to only go back for 1,2 or 3 days depending on what they say as i love my job but i love being a mum too and i couldnt leave him 5 days a week id miss him too much xxx
