[quote=Anonymous]I tried and failed to be a SAHM. I never really found my groove. I"m an introvert and never found a clique of moms to drink coffee and go to aerobics with, and actually I hate going to the gym. I spent way too much time cleaning the house and shopping online. (Kids were school-age). I didn't enjoy volunteering in the school and most of the time felt like there were too many moms volunteering and we were just getting in the way and it felt weird to compete with other moms to get a spot on the field trip or whatever. I was the girl scout leader from hell with way too many complicated projects. I was in a similar situation to the OP. We had moved to a new area and I vastly overestimated how valuable and in demand my skills would be. I went on interviews for weird jobs that didn't really fit for quite some time until I finally found a work situation that fit. When I went back to work, everyone was much happier, including the kids. I drove everyone crazy![/quote]
