Stay at home mum.

[mower]

Just come on to have a moan really. Shouldn't be moaning at all cause the problem is that both my parents and my parents in law keep offering all the time to provide child care for my ds.

We are having to rent house at mo cause my and dh have decided that we want me to be at home while our children are growing up, I do work two evenings a week though.

Because of the constant offers for childcare I have to keep explaining my reasons for wanting to stay at home to parents and parents in law and its doing my head in!

Anyone else had this problem?

My mother in law keeps offering but i dont want to go back yet as this is my first child and i want to stay at home and spend our special times together, shes always telling me about jobs etc.. it drives me mad i used to find myself making excuses until a couple of weeks ago i just said i didnt wanna go bk yet as i wanted to spend time with my little girl. She will probably still persist though. Im in a bad situation though as i met my bf and became pregnant very quick, i lived in Leeds and him in Essex. I made the break and moved to Essex, i have no family or friends here so as you can imagine i hate it. I have lost alot of confidence been here, but hey life goes on!! WOW! I didnt mean to go on having a little moan there, this was your problem...lol!

your parents / inlaws just love your kids and love spending time with them. they're just trying to help out, worrying that you're giving up something. just say 'because i want to'. no other reason. and i wouldn't discuss it, not until they've accepted your decision. then you can go into why, but they need to respect your choice first.

make the most of it and go out for the afternoon on your own or do a yoga class or something!
I am a SAHM and my Mum looks after the children of my (working) siblings but hardly ever offers to have mine - would love to be able to do a few things on my own occasionally!
