[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get it OP, and sorry this post turned into a SAHM bashing thread. I never SAH but I spent 4 years in low pressure boring mommy track jobs, and it was a total system shock when I transitioned back to a high pressure, high performing "big" job. Before kids I was a successful consultant in a stressful industry so I thought it would be an easy transition, but it honestly took months to shift my mindset back into "big job" mode! I'm pretty sure my boss had huge regrets about hiring me at first! I'm doing great now but it was definitely a rough bumpy couple of months. Be patient with yourself and understand it may take some time to feel like you have a good handle on things. It's normal so don't beat yourself up![/quote]

I’m a SAHM and I do wonder about this! How was the transition for your home life? [/quote]

Honestly, rough. My DH is very hands on at home but there are suddenly a lot more logistical problems now that I can’t just dip out whenever I want in the middle of the workday. My MIL lives with us for months at a time and she’s a big help. just knowing I don’t have to think of dinner every single night is a huge relief![/quote]

It's nice to see a poster here who is appreciative of her MIL. [/quote]
