I am a stay at home mom and lately have felt a little lost. Does anyone ever feel like that? Has anyone ever felt like they have been a mom and wife for so long that they have lost who they are without that?

Do you feel your worth............

Hi there I can relate with what you are saying but I know that what I'm doing for my children is something that no one else can do exactly the way that I can. Presently I am looking into ways to make money at home. I think that should help a lot if you feel very bad you might want to try looking into a few other options. Being a stay at home mom isn't for everyone. Some women feel as if they just have to work outside of the home. They could never stay home and feel the validation they would get out in the marketplace. But for me I'm not seeking the approval of man. I'm seeking to fulfill my role in life as godly mother. So I know I will receive my reward someday from God. Even when I see that my children are growing up and leading successful lives, that will be reward enough for me. Yes the cooking and cleaning does get to be tiring but small rest breaks in between does seem to help. Do whatever you feel will make you happy. If you will have more peace of mind by going out to work then go on and put your child in a daycare. Eventually they will adjust although it will be kind of difficult at first. But children are very resilient and you would be surprised what all they are able to endure. I was fortunate not to have to put mine in a daycare but I wound up pretty much having to be their everything and on call 24/7 almost but those are the breaks........Happy mylot!happy

Thank you! You are very inspirational. I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years now. I don't think I could actually go out to work cause I would constantly have my kids on my mind! I have been searching for a way to make money at home for years but keep running into scams. Do me a favor and let me know if your successful! Thanks again!

I've been a full time mum since my daughter was born in August 2005. It does get depressing sometimes when you have no contact with the outside world for days on end, and the kids are very demanding so it seems you hardly get anything done. All I ever hear is "Mummy I want..." and "Mummy, look what he did to my toy!" and it stresses me out. I haven't had a night out for nearly a year and all my friends were students til recently and are now all over the country pursuing careers. It gets lonely but I know my kids need me, and they love me in a way nobody else ever can. They are the most important people in my world and I have to make the most of my time with them before they get too old to need me!
