hate being a SAHM

[Mrshuntax]

I forgot how much i hated being a SAHM!i was enjoying lockdown a little bit to much. Loved having OH at home now im going insane again DD is 1 and DS is 3. were in the process of moving house so i kind of feel like our life is on pause i cant get a job or do anything at the moment.

anyone else feeling like this? or is it just me.

I have a job, but it feels like I'm a SAHP and it's awful. But this is not a surprise to me. I am definitely not the sort to want to be at home all day not working. Unfortunately, dh cannot work from home, so has been working throughout (except when I've needed him off because I had big all day meetings).

I know you said you are in the process of moving (we are as well, totally different part of the country), but can you sort out any childcare? My toddler was right back in the door at nursery the day they opened. I still have one at home (which is hell ish enough), but if I had two who could go to nursery, I'd be figuring out a way to make that happen. He'll go up until the day we move.

I love it, i feel very lucky to be so comfortable.

As with everything I think there are pros and cons. I must admit, I am dreading things returning to 'normal' because I have been at home on my own with a 2 year old since she was born and older dc (at school) is now keeping younger dc company in the day plus dh has partially been on hand (WFH) and altogether without the school run, it has been much less of a struggle/less isolating. I hadn't realised just how isolated I had become (very little extended family) and I have felt less alone with several people in the same boat. Getting a p/t job is going to be very difficult after all of this, will consider voluntary work/developing hobbies to get out of the four walls when dc starts pre-school.

DH has been summons back to work now (p/t) and I'm feeling agitated that our little bubble is disintegrating.

As ChinWhiskers mentioned, I fell very lucky to be able to make this choice.
