Another hard day...

Ugh.  I've been doing so well!  I had to drop DS off at my friend's house (who is a SAHM to her 6.5 month old) because my SIL requested these two days off.  It was very hard for me to leave, not only because the break in routine but because I got to glimpse into her life as SAHM this morning.  I want to be at home with DS desperately so I guess it was just a blow to see that. 

On to the rest of my terrible,  awful, no good, very bad day...

I'm sorry.  Just think, I'm sure your friend has had moments where she would love to drop her kid off with you and go to work eve if it is just for 1 day.  I think its the classic- the grass is greener on the other side.  Hopefully you will get some holidays off to spend with your DS.

So make it a good day! I understand where you are coming from, but like PP said, the grass is always greener. How you approach the rest of your day will make all the difference. It won't be long until you are done with work and get to go pick him up. Smile

Try to find joy in the little things and focus on what you do have instead of what you're missing out on.  Enjoy the time over the holidays too!

I know how you feel.  I would love to be home with my DD.  I've learned to just look at the positives in my life.  Staying home is not an option because we really depend on my salary and benefits so I try not to think about how nice it would be to stay home.  I would just be torturing myself if I continued to think that way.

I agree with pp, try to make it a good day! Your little one will have a good day, so you should too! Also, I agree that the grass isn't always greener on the other side...that SAHM might be just dying to get out of the house and into a non-child type of day:) I was a SAHM for a year, and it's not all fun and games. It's hard work, where I lost a part of my identity and self, and now I have my mojo back and am so grateful for the wonderful caretakers who care for my children during the week! Pep up, Mama! Buy yourself a coffee or a yummy lunch, talk to a good friend today, and make it a good day! And if you can't, and you truly are miserable, then set yourself up to do something about it (new job? part time job? work from home job?).

You women are the reason why I post on this board!  Thank you all!!  I do need to stay positive and understand the grass isn't always greener.

Brewcity -Dh and I talking about/working on the possibility of me staying home part time next year!  We are trying!!
