[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like being a SAHM is a really shit job for some of you, sending you into a spiral of depression, therapy, and meds. I always figured it was hard work but it seems to make some people profoundly miserable. DS is due in a few months and I will go back to work after maternity leave bc I don't think we are ready to go to one income. I have never wanted to be a SAHM for a number of reasons, but you have my respect bc it seems like a very hard gig. Is it really so bad that it is depression-inducing and/or results in this behavior?[/quote] Seems like there are lots of tedious jobs with long hours. Is mothering more likely to result in a need for therapy than, say, coal mining?[/quote] Yes--coal mining is physically difficult but not emotionally and mentally draining. I say this as someone whose father was a coal miner who would have rather put in a full day at work than spent an hour alone with his four kids.[/quote]
