Would you rather stay home or go to work?  |
|
I worked for 30+ years outside of my home. For about 14 years I was a single mother, and at one time I worked 2 jobs and went to school. For years and years I wished that I could stay at home. About 3 years ago I developed serious back problems, and I have been staying home since then. I did go to Real Estate school, and I have my Real Estate license. So, I work occasionally outside of the home, but not very much. Mostly now I am working on-line to make a little income. Now that I am home so much, I feel disconnected. I would not use the term "stir crazy", but "bored" might be closer to it. Every day is the same. My brain feels like mush sometimes. I can't say that I want to get back into the work force, but I just wish I felt more motivated and active at home. I guess some of it is that I am lonely. I just feel lazy. I sleep a lot. I don't have any energy. This may be a case of "be careful what you wish for". Because now that I am home, I am not as happy as I always thought I would be. I always thought I would get so much done, and I could concentrate on doing the fun things I like to do (spend the day at the pool, cross-stitch, read, do projects around the house, etc). Instead, I cannot get motivated. Has this happened to anybody else? If you work now, do you wish you could stay home? If you stay home, do you wish you had a job? If you stay home do you always get a lot done?

1. giftsandbagscom (12095) | 11 months ago | I have been home with my daughter about 12 years now. I make bags to sell online. I do other odds and ends as well. I don't wish a day to go back out there to work. I get all of what I have to get done done. I love being home to see my daughter's face when she leaves in the am. or when she gets home in the pm.

Toofancy (226) | 11 months ago | I wish I could have stayed home when my kids were little. I am home by myself. Sometimes I keep my grandson, and on those days I have a blast. I am glad you get to be with your daughter. I think it makes a big difference. Your on-line activity of making bags sounds really interesting. Is this a business that you started yourself, or do you work for someone else? Need help? I would love to do something like that. I think if I could find something to do that satisfied me, I would feel more productive. Thanks for commenting!

2. miccant (127) | 11 months ago | I use to work outside of my home until my second child came along. I have to say that I really love it. Now my house stays clean, I'm able to see my son do all of his firsts. What I do is either some nights when my husband is home or on the weekends I make my time. That is where I go and meet up with friends or just go shopping with no kids just me. As long as my youngest is not in school I will never go back to work. But then again when he starts school in 3 1/2 yrs I dont think I will want to go to work. Hope you have a great day.

Toofancy (226) | 11 months ago | It is great that you get to stay home with your child. I never was able to do that. Now that I am home, I am here by myself. You also sound like you have a lot of energy and get a lot accomplished at home. I think that is great. I guess I just need to change my mindset somehow and learn to appreciate what I have. I would have given my right arm to stay home when I had to work everyday. I should be happy about it now. Thanks for your comment!

4. goldeneagle (3647) | 11 months ago | I would LOVE to have a job that allowed me the opportunity to work from home. I hate going out in public, and I hate dealing with people. I am good at dealing with people most of the time, but I hate having to put up with stupid/rude people. I would also like to work at home so that I wouldn't have to drive as much every day. I have not had any luck finding a job like this yet, but I am hopeful that I will someday...

5. AnnieOakley1 (1701) | 11 months ago | I NEVER wanted to stay home. Well, I never wanted to be a stay at home mom or a housewife, YECK! I stayed at home for the first 3 yrs of each of my children because I was told that is when they learn the most. But I worked part time for some of that time or I would have gone stark raving mad!
Funny, but now I am at home and I am happy. But my role is NOT as a housewife. I am at home because I am self-employed. BIG DIFFERENCE!

lucy02 (4472) | 11 months ago | I also started going to the gym and that has helped with the lack of energy too. I feel so much better even though I only go about 15 min. or so a day.

Toofancy (226) | 11 months ago | Maybe that is what I should do....go to the gym. That is a good idea, as long as I can make myself do it. I definitely need to get some exercise.

7. wes2244 (395) | 11 months ago | As a man, I would rather go to work as I feel that's what the man should do. There is only so much you can do around your house besides I would go stir crazy if I was stuck in my house day in and day out

| 8. taterkitty (35) | 11 months ago | I've always said "I wish I didn't have to work" but in all honesty I would not enjoy being at home all the time. I start getting bored after the first few days of a week's vacation! I can only clean so much and that usually gets done in one day so after that I'm out of things to do besides play on the internet all day and even that gets boring after awhile.
