[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While you’re on maternity leave, what do you talk about when he gets home from work? That will tell you if you’re likely to be less interesting.

What do you envision SAHP to look like? Are you going to take classes and visit museums (post Covid) and have a structure or are you going to sleep in and “figure it out” day by day.  Do you have SAHM friends?

Of my friends who have made SAHP work and not lost their identities, some have kept a toe in the workplace, some have taken on a side project that needs time and attention (remodeled a bathroom, finished a basement) one wrote a book but she’s a massive overachiever, one did an immersive language study with her son.  None of them were “just” a mom.  [/quote]

OP here. We talk about his day, my day, the baby, world events, etc. I do have two friends who just had babies too. They will be staying home for 6+ months too. I plan to do many activities like workout classes and infant classes when it’s safe.

I don’t even sleep in now. My son ( almost 3 months old) is already on a schedule. We get up at 7am everyday and still do daily walks and weekly hang out with friends.

You have your 3 month old on a schedule? He is way too young for that. I hope you don’t do CIO. [/quote]

+1. This is sad. [/quote]

By 3 months my twins were also sleeping 12 hours a night and were on a nap schedule. What is wrong with you people? [/quote]

This. I didn't do CIO and my baby just naturally fell into a schedule around 3 months. We weren't rigid about it. If she seemed hungry, I fed her. If she seemed tired, we put her down. It's just that these things seemed to happen on a regular cycle and it was easy to adopt that schedule while still being responsive to her needs. I also did lots of baby wearing and I think that helped with the nap schedule because she'd often do her last nap of the day in the carrier while I ran errands or took myself to a coffee shop for a break.

So many people are just determined for everyone else to have the exact same experience as they had with a new baby, including the misery. But every baby is different and so is every parent and there are lots of ways to do it.[/quote]
