| What I miss the most.... |
I miss have'n coffee with friends and my own money to put into the bills. I love teaching my daughter and tending to the house. I miss the romance of him missing me and looking at me when I come home from a hard day of work. Don't get me wrong teaching my daughter is hard and so is house cleaning but, he just doesn't see it that way.
I miss the giggles of friends, the 'did ya hear?' or 'lets get to gether to have lunch' were did that all go? |

| ugh this post made me sad :-( it is so true no one but SAHM's understand really what we do all day and everyone else thinks we do nothing. I was thinking about having my husband stay home a week from vacation and I'm going to go out and he can tend to the kids and cleaning all day with no adult interaction and see how he feels and what he thinks. I totally know what you are going through. It's worth it to me because cleaning the house is a whole fulltime job in itself. I really feel for parents who both have to work fulltime and do the house work spend time with the kids, my goodness!!! |

| I'm going through this now. I feel very isolated and resentful towards my partner. As much as I love my daughter and really grateful to be raising her.... I miss adult interaction and it's slowly driving me insane. |

| I feel exactly the same way. Do you think it passes or do you think that this is a result of a bad match? |

| Well, I find myself being apologetic when I do not have the energy to be highly sexual like before....because of my busy schedule ( teacher, graduate student and MOMMY). He says, "its okay baby...you gave me my son...it'll get better." To all mothers who have similiar situations....I hope this passes |

| Iam a 43 year old mom to 4 year old twins.I feel just as isolated and alone but more so because most of the kids at the playground have younger moms- so its sometimes difficult for us to relate. But what keeps me going is the fact that I know this time with my young children will pass before I know it.Then I will miss having them as my babies and will forget this isolation. The older they get the more time I will have to myself.Its hard raising children. Its the most difficult but most important job in the world. Of course we feel resentment towards our spouses and mates sometimes. Its only normal. Whats important and what helps is that you keep the lines of communication open (without yelling) and work as a team to raise these beautiful children into healthy, well rounded adults. Iam starving for friendship too. The only thing you can do sometimes is find things and interests to occupy yourself. Take the time for yourself to get a pedicure, get a haircut, take a run to the mall, see a movie together, even if its a kids movie,find actiivities in your area that bring families together and you can meet other parents.Go to free events in your area where you can meet others and hopefully have brief chats at least with someone thats in the same situation as you-another mom. Get out of the house. |

| Cheer up! Is not that bad. I am 49 and was forced to take professional help due to my isolation problem. I still tell my therapist, How can an only child have an isolation problem? Well, she explained that I was a minority that needed to know how to apply interactive skills because it was not healthy for me or my kids and my husband to be isolated. I read material about isolation and still being instructed how this can affect my. Read or get evaluated to see if this is a problem in your life. If so then seek help immediately. Do not let your self-esteem suffer the consequences of a slow response. (Poor self-esteem, negativity, anger, etc.. you will see the symptoms) There are excellent books on relationships that can help you to improve your social interaction and live a healthy gregarious life. . |

Okay it took me getting divorced to realize this! Just Do It!!! Don't ask permission and don't worry that the house will fall down and cave in and your children will die of starvation. Just go! After you go out and giggle and have some fun, you will fill like a woman again, not a mom or a wife, just a woman. You will look and feel so much better for it and your husband and children will all be happier because you will be happier! I am that way now and it is very sexy!

| I am a stay at home mom with a 2 1/2 year old. I myself was starting to go a little crazy with being home until I found this great work at home job with other stay at home moms. I am able to work from my computer and phone with my son right by my side. It is flexible so I can work my business whenever it fits into my schedule. I also have a great support system and one one one mentoring. There is no selling, cold calling, or inventory. This can give you a way to contribute to your finances and feel like you are not so disconnected from the outside grown up world. It can turn in to a "regular" job if you put the effort into it. I was skeptical at first but I have been doing very well. If you would like more information visit our website at www.momsbusinessanswer.info |
