[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a SAHM is hard. For me yes, I got used to it, sort of. In that I developed a routine. And my kids (who were in daycare up til age 1 and 3) got more used to being independent around the house rather than have me wait on them like I tended to when I was only with them two intense hours at the end of the day rather than the long boring stretches of time during the SAHM day. Moms groups did not work for me (I am an older mom and live where most moms in moms groups are 25)  but it did get easier when I had them in preschool a couple of mornings + figured out the free things around town to drag them to (playgrounds, events at library, craft days at Michaels, Home Depot etc) It also helped to have 1 or 2 good mom friends, even if only saw them once a month or so.

Oh and ps yes I have a cleaning service every other week to incentivize me to make sure that it is pre cleaned at least the day before they arrive,
And so that they can make sure floors are mopped, stove cleaned etc which I never do on my own.   I also go ahead and let laundry stay in laundry baskets semi permanently because it is just endless.  [/quote]
