Youngest/last child just started school, anyone else?

[Shadow1986]

I’m a stay at home mum and have been for 9 years as we have no family help and my wages wouldn’t have covered the childcare. Youngest DS started school this week. I’m getting asked multiple times a day ‘what are you going to do with yourself now?’

My answer is the usual - cooking/cleaning/gardening/food shopping/running errands and hopefully get a small bit of time for myself for the first time in 9 years! Is anyone else getting asked this constantly at the moment?

Mine has my dd is 4 so in reception, but l have worked full time since l had both of them. I really wish l could of afforded to be a stay at home mum l feel like l have missed out on so much. If l were you l would ignore the people asking you tell them you are taking some you time and then when you done having you time, you can take some time to decide what you are going to do, at your own pace. Only work whilst the school is open so you can pick up and drop off.
