[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a job. This will not make you happy long term. And encourage your spouse to get a more family friendly job once you're working. It's his child too - not just your responsibility.[/quote]

She has a job. A very hard one. OP, it is a stage. It gets better [/quote]

Agree with you. And who ARE these people who think getting a job is the answer, anyway? You're exhausted and bored as a SAHM? I have an idea. Get a job! That will solve it! Here's what will help: Get up at 5 a.m., pump, make bottles, pack a bag, then get yourself dressed and go fight traffic to sit in an office and deal with demanding clients/ coworkers for 9 hours, fight traffic again, race to get baby from daycare before the dreaded dollar a minute penalty kicks in, come home, start Job number 2. Cook dinner, clean house, get laundry done, wash bottles, try to find 15 minutes to see said baby and husband. And...REPEAT. Until Dead!

I was in OPs shoes and getting a job was the answer and NOTHING like you all describe. It was a miserable 2 years. Tennis and mom gossip was not for me. It was mind numbingly boing. Now with two salaries my DH was able to make a career change and is not an active partner in raising our children.

I don't know what kind od miserable lives you lead, but I hope you strike a balance one day.[/quote]

I find it kind of sad that many view working as the only option to "mind numbing" boredom and hanging out with idiots in tennis whites all day. Personally, I'm fulfilled by enriching my mind, pursuing my own interests and caring for my children. If your stay-at-home years were defined by mom gossip and tennis, that says more about you and your poor choices, not about being a full-time mother. [/quote]

What exactly enriches your mind? What are your interests?

And depending on a man for money doesn't make you more of a full- time mother than a working mom. When your kids go to school do you drop to part time mom?[/quote]
