OMG i am finally a SAHM

[fannyanne]

well I finally left work today after sixteen plus years to be a SAHM to my little angels(will I still be saying that in six months) of 18 months and 2.9. I have been trying to make the decision since ds was born and have finally taken the plunge. I m really looking fwd to chatting to like minded adults on here cos i think that is the one thing i will rally miss about the work environment. any others out there who have recently made a similar decision?

me too - well I told work I'm not going back when mat leave it up. Did you feel strange? I did.

I have one ds 9 months.

Enjoy it!!

b*gger me - I thought I'd posted a thread without realising it - I was fannyannie for nearly 1yr

But back to OP - good for you.

Feele really strange , but am looking fwd to having the freedom to spend time getting to now my kids better and hopefully beginning to reduce the stress levels

Me too !! it's great isn't it !

I'm doing a course to keep the grey matter ticking and increase my career prospects in 2 years.

LO is 7 mths !

Me, too, and I love it!

Do it for as long as you can! I stayed at home (and studied) when my two were little and now they're older (9 and 10) I still find it tough working and missing out on them, would love to be able to afford to pack it all in! Good luck to you, hope you enjoy it

You will have days when you want to rock in a corner, and work seems much more appealing, but the good days outweigh the bad

When I went into work today it reminded me why I like being at home so much.
