[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a SAHM I did something out of the house every day to maintain sanity. It was good for me and good for the kid. Good for you using the Y childcare, what an excellent resource.

Honestly, you might think about working full-time. My mom was in the same situation as you (nurse who worked weekends, basically SAHP during the week, deeply resented my dad for not doing more around the house ) and I think she would've been happier working more.[/quote]

Op here. Working full time would overwhelm me more and also add too much for childcare expenses. It would be a wash regarding how much money we could save. Work does help me have a life outside of the house/kids, so I don't want to give that up. Today I went out with the older child and dh stayed at home with the 3 year old. It was relaxing and I caught up with a friend at barnes and noble. I need to have one night / day a week to go out and do whatever I want. I think that is what I miss most. Being out and about gives me time to think and relax. In September, I will have a few mornings alone. It will help 😊 [/quote]
