Why Are Stay At Home Moms Not Feeling Fulfilled?

Because what is less fulfilling than being a mother.

That is what is often said to stay at home moms who complain about being stay at home moms.

As if these women can’t complain about being a mom.

You can love being a mother and still have times when you need to vent about being a mom.

Because being a mom is hard.

The moment you are pregnant and bring a life into this world, you are responsible for them.

You are responsible for their well being and providing whatever they need in this world.

You are virtually your child’s everything.

There is a reason that many women will say that becoming a mom is a life changing event.

Because it is.

You go from it being just you or you and your significant other to becoming a party of 2 or 3.

The individuals that we were before having babies changes because we have become someone's parents.

And that is a lot of pressure when you think about it.

I mean think about your own parents and how you would rate their parenting.

Would you want to be like your parents?

Are there things that you would want to do differently?

I know as a mom, I feel a tremendous amount of pressure to be a great mom because that is what is expected of the mother.

Not to mention, I’m a stay at home mom as well, so the pressure feels even heavier because I’m with the kids the majority of the time.

So if my kids don’t seem to be thriving or if they aren’t hitting their milestones, it falls back on me.

Because I’m the person that they are with the majority of the time.

And since I’m the one who they are with most of the time, I barely get to clock out of mom mode.

Like I was saying above, before I became a mom, I was a different individual pursuing different things in my life.

I was in route to step into my career and then I got pregnant.

I knew that I always wanted kids and I wanted to have them with husband, but the timing just caught us both off guard.

So choices and decisions were made and it lead to being a stay at home mom.

And if you have been keeping up with my post here, then you know that it didn’t go well.

In the beginning, I felt purpose less and lacked direction.

I was having a really hard with being content with just being a stay at home mom.

I knew that I was capable of such much more than being a stay at home mom.

It’s not like I plan on being a stay at home mom forever, but this was going to be my life for at least 3 or 4 years until my little ones goes to school.

Once they are in school, I will step back in the job field.

But until then I want to feel confident and content within being a stay at home mom .

And I feel like I finally have.

I wrote a blog post on what I have been doing to to feel fulfilled as a stay at home mom.

I talk about the 5 tips that have helped me that you can check out through the link down below.

Until next time!
