| okay.. here's a little vent.. lol |
Okay, this isnt really a vent.. okay maybe it is..LOL I have worked all of my life fulltime. and when I had my son 4 1/2 yrs. ago I had decided to stay home with him and very been very fortunate enough that I have been able to. My husband works days. I so miss the adult interaction I had when I was working.. I have adjusted, but I still have my days when I need to have this. And today I am just having one of those very "bored"days.. I love my little guy to peices, and we do alot of fun things together.. I am just tired of being home all the time. especially after a weekend, when we are all out and about most of saturday and sunday.. Monday is just time once again to re-adjust. So I basically joined this group, not so much I have lots of venting to do, Gosh knows some days I will but for now to just meet others that are adults..lol Thanks Kathy |

Have you considered doing something from Home to supplement your income...and have fun talking with others over the phone and the net? If so, I can share with you what I'm doing.
Blessings,

Shelly, I know what you are feeling, I get like this sometimes...these are some of the thoughts that go thru my head when I feel overly agitated (or angry): I am tired, I really need a shower but not likely to happen now since all the kids are up...what am I going to cook tonight?...Oh shoot, I forgot to put that load of laundry in...it is piling up on me...and the other clean laundry is piled up still...I have to put that away first... man, I swear I just cleaned this floor and look at it now...why can't my husband understand what I go thru everyday?... "Jo-Jo, for the third time, go brush your teeth, Nayelli, Make your bed...and Weecho, what are you getting into now!?" In the background, the baby starts crying...and this sense of being scattered between every child and chore and pet and houseplant overcomes me..."Why can't you just listen to what I tell you to do!!! AAAGGHHH!! Why can't I just have some time for me!"
Then when I overreact and if I do get upset with my kids I feel guilty and then my thoughts change to something like: Oh, why did you say that...you know that could damage their self-esteem... hello!!! aren't you an educated woman...what is wrong with you?...what kind of mother are you?...poor kids of yours...they have to pay for your lack of patience...you're the one who wanted to have so many kids...their going to resent you when they get older!...get your act together!!...your kids need you, there is no time for you...and on and on and on...
then I try to figure out why I am acting out of character and the conclusions I come up with are outside of what I am capable of doing at this time, like going back to work, hiring a maid, going on a vacation, getting help from my husband...
What I really need to do is to embrace these crazy moments, and breathe, stop mentally beating up on myself, accept that this is where I am at in this moment, accept it and breathe, and stop whatever I am doing and talk to my kids...tell them calmly the reason why I am upset and tell them how they can help (because that is really what they want to do)...and then put them in their room for a nap and do something that is For Me Only!
Sometimes it helps me to just go to a quiet part of the house and focus on my breathing and the quiet or the smell of the fresh air...even if it is only for 2 minutes...it does wonders for me, gets me centered, and then I can deal with whatever arises from a place of power and confidence...and have fun with your kids now, your time will come soon enough then you will miss these times! |

| I have older children who are in school 7hrs a day and I am alone. At first, it was very different and kind of nice to be able to have time to myself but that got old fast. I miss my kids being home and can't wait until summer vacation.. |

It is so nice to know that I'm not alone on this one! My husband doesn't understand when I say that I need "adult interaction" after being home all day with a son that is 2 going on 30 and a 3 month old little girl! Hayley, I would be interested to know what you do at home to supplement your income and interact with actual adults!
Thanks!

I can totally relate to this ladies, I have always been priviledged to be able to stay home with my (4) kids. I baby sat for my sisters children during the day and I also kept the daughter of a family friend. I was surrounded by little people. I would have loved the opportunity to have a conversation with an adult!
I now have the opportunity to work right at home,partnered with a 15 yr old company offering me daily pay, 401k, plus benefits.
I have tried many other work from home opportunities that had products to sell, or home parties, I failed miserably. Nothing against those companies it just didn't work for me and my family. Now I truly stay at home and contribute to the family income. I have been with the company for 5 months now I have been able to generate an income of $800-$1200 each month.
If you would like more information please visit my website, look over the details and the videos, then request an interview online. I will then give you a call to discuss any questions you have and see if this is something for you and your family.
