[quote=Anonymous]OP, I do not know what your financial situation is, but if you can afford some type of preschool or day program for them, even a few days per week, it can do wonders for your self.

I fully understand how you feel as I was a SAHM until my two children started school.

It is lonely, boring, stressful, chaotic, messy, and isolating. You are constantly doing, doing doing. You are tied down physically and emotionally and little things most people can do in 5 seconds can take 5 minutes!

Most of all, you lose your identity. You miss doing the things you did pre children. Like being able to just get up and leave the house on a whim. Those days are long gone. Days where you could read a book in a day. Or sit down and watch a 1-hr. show w/out interruption are impossible as well.

This too shall pass.

It isn't forever.

I hope you have a supportive husband who you can talk to. And/or family members who can help out from time to time.
Another great resource for you would be a Mother's group. For support, companionship and even play-dates.

If money is an issue, l would look around for a baby-sitting co-op in your neighborhood.

Hope this helps.[/quote]
