Any other stay-at-home moms feeling worthless?

Why do you feel worthless? I'd love to be a stay at home mom. I'm not a mom but I'm at home now because I'm not working but I am trying to start a home business. You need to do things that make you feel good. There's a lot you can do that's worthwhile. You could start your own business, volunteer, tutor, take classes, join a gym, visit sick children in hospitals, visit Nursing Homes. If money is the issue you can find things to do at home and bring in income.

I have been dealing with the same issues for over 4 years now,it is best for me to stay at home because my daughter has cerebral palsy,and epilepsy,but we are down to one car cuz the other broke down and we just can't afford to fix it,talk to other mom's,friends,family and your doctor,if you keep feeling this way they might be able to get you some kind of help,it is hard but you will make it through,things are getting alittle better my way,I wish you the best.

I feel worthless all the time. I don't work at this time because my husband preferes me to be at home so he doesn't have to do anything around the house (except take out the garbage, it's heavy, and the bin is taller than me), because I don't have a license or a car to get to a job outside the house, and because I have major problems with anxiety and depression. I feel bad because I don't earn money, Ibut I also felt bad when I was earning money because I couldn't keep up the house right at the same time. No matter what i do I feel like crap so I don't think being at home makes the difference. But anyway, your not alone in feeling crappy. I'm right there with you.

My wife stays at home and cares for our children. God has bless us. If you are looking for a way to make some extra cash I may be able to help. I just hired 5 people off mylot in the last couple of day to do some work for me. I pay $50 and then I show you how you can make 100-200 a month. It's not a whole lot but it help some. If you are interested you must be from the US or Canada. I do have some open slots for the weekend paying $50. If interested make me a friend and the send me a message.

I wouldn't say worthless was the right word for me as I contribute a lot to our family even though its not in monetary form. HOWEVER at times when I want to do things, I know I can't, because we can't afford to spend on things that are not necessary (if you know what I mean). I am at the stage where I have a lot of time on my hands during the day and I need to fill that time in instead of being at home, watching tv and not doing much other than the usual mundane household chores. This is where I feel that having a part time job would help to fill that void and at the same time earning some extra $$ for me and my family. It would also mean I can buy those things I have wanted which we can't afford now LOL

Being a mother is the most important job in the world! It is God's highest calling for womanhood. Raising healthy, happy children is hard work and they need a mother who knows her self-worth! It's a job that doesn't pay financially, but emotionally. A woman with children definitely needs a car, especially if there is an emergency. Are there ways you can cut back on other expenses so you can make your car payments, or find some type of work you can do from home to help out financially?

You are most definitely not alone in how you feel. I can't even get a good work from home job and don't have time to work outside of the home (most work from home jobs are difficult) But the reason you probably feel worthless is because you probably are a hard worker and feel UNAPPRECIATED!!! If that is true then welcome to the club!

Personally, i think the fact that you even stay home and take care of your kids already makes you wortwhile. Think about how many kids there are out there that would loev to have a mother that was willing to spend time with them or make sure they have food on the table or help them out with their homework.. It seems so many womem today our caught up in their office work that they forget about their house work.

Dont feel worhtless. Its good to be at home you are able to see your kids and you do your responsibility as the home maker. Theres a lot of things you can do to earn money start up a small bussiness that you can do at home at the same time you can monitor your kids' activities.

Hi!!
Get a hobby, do something fun.
Maybe one of your hobby´s will make you money.
Painting, cooking, baking,internet...
You are not worthless.Though I know what you are going though, as I have been there myself .
And have recently lost my job because of health problems.
I am only 41.
I try to keep busy.
And you have your children still to look after.
Well, that itself is a full time job.
Try to be happy, that rubs off on the children.
When you are happy, they are happy. When they are happy, you are happy.
Take care, have a nice day.
