WHAT I DO WHEN I’M BORED AS A STAY AT HOME MOM / dealing with boredom in motherhood

I’m so excited and so passionate about finding purpose and fulfillment in the God Given Gift of motherhood.
It can be a blessing, it can be a training ground, it can be a beautiful school for us as mothers to learn.
Love you all so much!:)

Hands down the most real and helpful video on KZbin! It makes me feel like I’m not alone! I love being a mom and wife but sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy and I don’t understand how other moms look like they have it all together🤦‍♀️

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, this is such a kind and thoughtful comment. Thank you so much. Haha, you are not alone there. 🤣 I definitely have many days I don’t feel very put together.

[@LivingWithEve]

Love all the great ideas, freedom and thoughts you are having. It reminds me of a book i just read call Eve in Exile.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Thank you so much. Ooh, I’ll have to check out that book!:)

Hi, I am a 21 year old single University student hoping to one day be a stay at home mom. Thank you for making these honest Christ-glorifyind videos. I don't know many women like you in person so I am really happy there are women like me out there.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Awe, thank you so very much! 💕

[@ssg3664]

Thank you so much for articulating what we all aim for. It's nice to hear someone explain it 😁

[@BecauseitMatters]

Awe, thank you for watching and commenting!:)

Wow! Well thank you so much! 💕💕

I’m definitely in season 1 as I try to get the new routine with my third baby. I know it won’t last forever, but it feels insurmountable in the moment.

[@BecauseitMatters]

I have definitely felt that way as well at times. ❤️ this last week we’ve all been a bit sick, so the babies are cranky and up at night. I keep having to tell myself it’s just a season, while not pulling out my hair. 😂😂

[@ThisBraveHeart]

Wow! I’m going through the first season hard right now. I have two boys and my husband has been deployed for the past 7 months now. My house is a mess, my toddler has been misbehaving, and I’m exhausted! I can’t wait for my hubby to get home. I miss him so incredibly much right now.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness, I could not even imagine how terribly hard that must be! Seven months! Wow! You are incredible. I pray God gives you His strength during this time. 💕💕💕

[@Emmaa118]

I love this video! I’ve never heard anyone else share about this but I think it’s so needed for homemakers. Thank you for the great ideas!

[@BecauseitMatters]

Wow! Thank you so much!:)

My Mom had 5 of us and kept her full time job of being a teacher until retirement. She had a great support system and I must say she did well. I personally never felt neglected or that I missed out on anything. Looking back I am in awe of how she managed & also kept a pretty decent home as well. I am a College graduate,married for 7 years & worked on and off. My husband always had a stable job. I feel as though I need to contribute, so I'm actually studying online and applying to work from home jobs. I like the homemaking aspect of my life some days more than others but it is a definite improvement from the early years of marriage.

[@BecauseitMatters]

That is so wonderful!:) that is very impressive your mom had five children and still kept the house decent and worked. Amazing!:) ❤️

[@jasminesmith913]

I’m not a mother yet but I’ve realized that I experience these same things in wifehood and making the home. Very interesting

[@BecauseitMatters]

Yes! That is a good point!:) I guess it doesn’t apply just to motherhood, your comment made me think, could it even apply to marriage a bit at times?

[@AverySymone]

You do such a great job at explaining things! I definitely struggle with not feeling challenged as a stay-at-home mom, too. I was trying so hard to start a side hustle or business to feel like I'm doing something useful/exciting/worthy, but neglecting motherhood and homemaking in the process. I am taking things more slow this year as I am expecting another baby next month, and I am just starting to realize how much there really is to learn and grow from in motherhood itself! So inspiring :)

[@BecauseitMatters]

Hey, that is so awesome to hear! Boy, you’re so right! Motherhood is such a training ground! I feel like I’m learning as much as my kids! 😂😂💕

[@BarbaraAnnB-yi5ew]

Hello! Great video! I am in season one with my first child who is almost 6 weeks old. I constantly feel like a failure when she cries. My husband works nights so I am alone when she is most fussy. Then when he comes home around 11pm, I tend to snap at him cause I am so tired. And I feel like a horrible wife. Anyway, thank you for your video. Most YT MOMS I see project perfection which makes me feel like a further failure. But I appreciate your honesty.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Oh my goodness:( that sound so incredibly tough. I am so sorry. How miserable! I hope this season passes quickly for you.

[@vintagebeliever5023]

Great message

[@BecauseitMatters]

Thank you!:) ❤️

[@BuildsHerHome]

This video is so practical and inspiring and helpful Learning is so useful I will keep this in mind as my 2 under 2 grow older by God's grace. Sewing I find so peaceful but baking sourdough bread now there's a fun challenge !

[@MotherlyEssence]

You're sooooo beautiful! I've been feeling exactly that way. Bored but also lonely. Feeling like i have no purpose. There are things i bave wanted to learn i just tend to make excuses. Maybe its time to try it.

[@BecauseitMatters]

Wow! Thank you so much for your comment!:) Yes! You should totally dive in and try something new!:) ❤️

[@sarahherboth9447]

Ah I'm very similar to you in all the projects I'm interested in! Hearing you say these things helps me not feel so guilty doing my projects. My struggle though is finding time to do my projects without the kids (2 and 4) destroying the house around me 🤦🏻‍♀️ I guess they have a lot of energy since it's winter. How do you keep your kids out of trouble while you work on a project? I find it hard to even get started when I know that I'll be interrupted very soon and have a big mess to clean up

[@BecauseitMatters]

Haha, um, sadly it does often involve the house getting pretty messy if I want to do anything else. 😂 I do find puzzles, playdough, books, etc. help keep my toddler entertained pretty well. I also try to involve her as much as I can. If I’m painting furniture, I’ll let her paint a part I will later just sand down, if I’m cleaning, I have her help sometimes. But yes, usually my house gets pretty messy if I do anything besides continual cleaning. 😂😂

[@izzyjones9144]

This video was so helpful! This is something I am struggling with as a mom and also a lack of support and not having other moms to relate to. I live in a very rural area so there are not very many resources or people my age with young children. What do you recommend for people that are also struggling with support and a lack of mom friends?

[@gailwilliams8515]

Hi Sarah, thanks for sharing this great tip for overcoming boredom as a mother. You mentioned 3 seasons - will you be telling us about the 3rd? Also, have you heard of the podcast What Have You? with Rachel Jankovic & Bekah Merkle - they talk about motherhood a lot and have tons of wisdom to share. Each episode usually starts with general chit chat and then they discuss a topic of eternal value. These two women have written some excellent books also. God bless you in this great work you are doing in His service :-)

[@gailwilliams8515]

Oops Hi *Sara (without the H)

[@jamiehelms9896]

It’s at 3:45 - the season of learning & growing! 💕

“They have 6, 8, 10 kids” tell me you go to a reformed church without telling me 😂
