Hiya,
My name is Crystal and I just found this group online.
I just recently became a stay at home mom and am having a bit of a hard time adjusting to being home all the time.
I love being home with my 5 month old, I have just been kinda bummed.
I think it will prob pass it's just been hard adjusting...

| i have an 18 month and have been home since i was 4months preg. it hasnt gotten any easier yet, sorry to bum you. but i do love being home with my daughter. sometimes i ahave thought about going to work and then when i think about not seeing my daughter as much i couldnt do it for nothing. we have had to make sacrifices but they are all worth it.i am starting my first playgroup this thursday and i am soooooo excited . maybe you could do something like that. this will be all of our first playgroupo so i will get to meet about five mommies like myself that is craving interaction for my daughters sake as well as mine. but anyway welcome to the group i hope you enjoy it. |

Firstly, welcome. I'm Rochelle & I have a 9 mo old daughter & a 7 yr old step daughter (but she doesn't live w/ us all the time).
I totally agree with Natasha! A playgroup is great & I think it's just for moms, eventhough we call it a "play" group lol
It's good to speak your normal language as opposed to baby talk, simple sentences and just get out and compare notes of motherhood & stories! I also work at home and found that it's a good outlet for me and my self-esteem in helping others and using the non-mom parts of my brain!

| Welcome to the group! I know how you feel, it is hard to adjust. I definetely recommend looking into a play group in your area, if there isn't one, maybe you could start your own. If you can't find one online, you could check preschools, your pedi, libraries, ect. Good Luck and look foward to talking with you |

Hi,
I am a stay home mom with with 2 boys. Ethan is 2 and James is 10 months. I know how hard it is, sometimes you feel all alone, but it is definetely worth it. I remember I was working when Ethan was about 4 months old and my husband called me at work to tell me that Ethan had just giggled for the first time. I started to cry, my husband was so confused. I told him later it was really hard to know that I missed a first, I should have been the one calling him. I quit my job 2 weeks later and haven't been back. At least now I haven't missed any firsts with James.
We are new to the town we live in now, and I find it's a lot harder to stay home and not know anyone. I told my mother I feel like the only word in my vocabulary these days is "no". It will get better. Just hang in there. |

Hi Crystal,
How is it going? I am a nurse & quit my job during maternity leave. I love staying home with my dtr (14mo old) but it was/is definitely a difficult transition.
I joined a baby group (actually 3, LOL) & found that helpful. As she got older, she could entertain herself (& me) more.
Good luck! |
