As soon as my youngest started school my MIL asked my husband, "So, is she going back to work now?" My husband clapped back IMMEDIATELY with, "She works harder now than she ever has... so what makes you think she is without a job?" It was THE SEXIEST thing he has ever said or done. I just simply felt seen ❤

I have a 4 yearold and a 1 yearold. I'm always tired and sad. I want to be happy being at home. I want to feel fulfilled. I just want to get better. This is the hardest job ever.

[@GABRIELLE_SALEM]

Make sure you take some time to yourself when you can. Even if it just taking a nice bath and putting on a face mask. I really want to stay at home with my next child. I don’t want to miss out on any moments. If no one has told you, you’re doing an amazing job 🤍. Your children will be thankful.

[@audreyestelle687]

I’m with you! It’s been a little over a year since leaving my job of almost 15 years to be full time sahm! I went through anxiety and depression but overtime it has gotten better when I started praying and reading my Bible more! Also taking baby steps to doing some of the things I enjoyed doing before marriage and kids. I know things will get better for you! You will find your rhythm. ❤️🙏🏽

[@angelonearth8498]

Don’t be a stay at home mom under any circumstances! Don’t sacrifice yourself or your life for anyone NO EVEN FOR YOUR HUSBAND NOT EVEN FOR YOUR CHILDREN! If you do, YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR THE REST IF YOUR LIFE! You will be under appreciated by your husband and your children! When your kids grow up and way to college, your husband will kick you out or tell to go get a job…sure after 20 years? No matter what your husband says about him being able to support you and the kids….DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. After a while he will degrade you and call you stupid shit infront if your children and then your children will become their dad. I cook, I clean, i can him two boys, I do their laundries, I take them to their dr appts, I take them to school, I iron his work clothes, I mow the lawn, I washed the car, I take care of them when they are sick, I bought them their clothes, I do the grocery shopping on my own, I fix whatever maybe broken at home… Before marriage, I told him I do not want children and he said that’s fine. After we got married, he said to me that I am not his family until I give him children. So I did. Not one but two boys who does well in school because I educated them, I took care of them made sure they always had breakfast before school, always on time, took them to their sprits practices and games…all the while stressed out while he comes home eats and watch porn got caught and blames and body shamed me …I am 120 lbs. he blames me for his porn watching because my body changed…this is after I gave birth the kids he wanted. Then he slept and paid a prostitute contracted std and then infected me and lied about it. Now he and the kids treat me like I am beneath them. I am have no job I have nothing he holds all the finances. I have nothing. I am constantly regretting and contemplating suicide. I tried to hide the pain but most days I just spent wishing for death to escape this lonely life. So please before you give in to your husband think twice about it because they do change no matter how good and faithful you are and they don’t care if you end up with nothing in the end.

Why is it so hard for y’all ? I’m a single dad of 2 boys with a work from home job while going to college online. That was a little stressful but when I graduated college and just had work and kids it was a breeze kids are not as hard as people make them out to be. Stressful sometimes yes but that’s life

[@cariehoover]

Thank you so much from one stay at home mama to another. After 3.5 years of infertility and finally getting my dream come true when we got the phone call of a baby girl in need of a good home I’ve felt so much guilt surrounding my selfish thoughts. How tired I am, how the list does not end, how I no longer feel like myself, how I feel guilty that my husband who I used to work beside renovating homes is now trying to do the work of two so I can be at home with our daughter. It’s so hard some days and to know there are others who feel the same way and understand, helps just as much as a simple thank you. 💜 I always try to remember how incredibly lucky I am to have a husband who loves me no matter if my hair is fixed or up in a bun, whether I have make up on or not, and helps me clean up after dinner or even goes to pick up something to eat because this mama is exhausted from the day. 😊

[@veronicastigger7947]

As a stay at home mom of a 3 year old at days I find it extremely difficult. I literally with my son 24/7. I also work at nights. I clean, cook, prep meals and try to entertain him as well as getting keeping my sanity. My husband works 11-8 so I’m exhausted. We got this mommas ❤ P.S. he definitely helps out as well

[@bellasterling4963]

I was a stay home mom for 35 years. I have to say, it was the most fulfilling/ rewarding job I had. Yes, I say “ job” because like others who work outside the home, us stay home moms work the same and more so. Now that our 3 children are grown and have their own family, I can honestly say “ I made the right choice of being an stay home mom for all those years. And I was so fortunate to be able to do it!” The reward I got is” our children turned out to be wonderful people “ I salute all the stay home moms out there, it’s not an easy job.

[@aprilalgrably]

Wow, I’m happy to hear good things from a SAHM for that long. For now I am treasuring all these growing up years. I am proud of you po for raising your children. Who they are right now is because you touch their lives in a way only good moms can do. Respect! 🙏

[@bravemoon2124]

As a stay at home mom of 2 preschoolers, the worst thing isn’t childcare itself, or laundry, or never ending cycle of cooking and cleaning after. The WORST aspect is not having anything exciting AND not being able to actually plan anything for yourself, bc you don’t belong to yourself, and your boss is unpredictable. My daughter turned 2 and started going to the kindergarten, but she is still adapting and often gets sick, so as soon as I’m starting to enjoy simple things like cleaning alone, working out and skincare routine, she catches sniffles and I need to cancel my doctor appointments and mani-pedi I haven’t had in years. And though you don’t get salary or any recognition whatsoever, you also never get vacation or even sick days. I admit I kinda let it happen bc I want to be a good mom and make sacrifices. But it’s a bad and intoxicating trait leading to burnout, binge eating and whining instead of enjoying your kids growing. It took me 6 years and one especially big meltdown to realize my husband can actually take sick days to take care of kids when I have fever. Don’t be me girls, stand for yourself. And I’m really grateful my kids, despite having some health issues, are relatively healthy. I can hardly imagine being a mom of a kid who is really sick. I’m not THAT strong. God bless those women.

[@tylerproctor4878]

If you are wondering how full time working moms do it. The answer is they don't. Daycare and family raises their children. Meals come from a box or are ordered out. Being a stay at home mom and wife properly is much harder. My wife is such a good mom and wife. I make it worth it to her anyway I can. Financially she might be dependent on me but she gets all the best we can afford. Be proud of yourself If you are a stay at home mom. Your job is the most important one there is. I can tell you any educated man respects your work and as fathers we appreciate your sacrifices for our children.

[@TheSienna29]

Tyler you can only speak on yourself and your own household. Shutup.

I’m a full time working mom of two littles bc I am a widow and have no other choice. My mom passed away 12 years ago and my in laws are no help. I have to do all this cleaning cooking packed lunches running errands and laundry on top of having a career and having my kids every evening and weekends I don’t drop them off anywhere when I’m off work. You shaming working moms is not helpful or kind. All moms are hard workers.

I did an experiment a few weeks ago…I asked some of our children about hobbies. They all had answers for themselves and their siblings, when asked what my hobby is they all said “umh cleaning?” It’s a sad truth, but I explained that a hobby is something you do FOR YOU that you enjoy doing. If you don’t understand, be happy. Staying at home is well worth the cons, but there are very big cons, with very big pros

[@laurengraham9325]

Trying to decide whether or not to have kids so I’m here. Some of these things stay at home moms do sound like stuff you have to do even if you’re not a mom (cleaning [less of it, obviously]). However, it’s like husbands assume they don’t have to do any domestic tasks and it’s 100% the mom’s job, which is unfair. That’s my worst nightmare - becoming an unpaid maid for a man. SAHMs work all day. It never stops. Husbands go to work and then they feel like they worked so they don’t have to do chores.

[@colleenpaschall491]

I've been a sahm for 8 years. It's not for everyone. I tell my working mom friends that the work is easier but longer. I work 12-14 hours a day. The work is easy but tedious. It helps to have hobbies you enjoy at home. I homeschool and garden. It's fulfilling but can be lonely and tedious. It's important to create a circle of other sahms who support one another with positivity. And I wouldn't reccomend it if you're spouse doesn't value the role and work in homemaking.

[@muaaza1432]

This made me cry as a first time mom ... All my love to any other first time moms ❤ YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS SO INCREDIBLY OVERWHELMED ALL THE TIME.

[@Hedwig-gj2di]

Thank you for this video. All this needed to be said and was right on. And if people dont think being a stay at home mom is a job, then i wonder what daycare workers do all day? Only they get paid.... and theyre not responsible for everything else, laundry, taking kids to appts, shopping, etc. Etc. Etc. And for the people who say, this is all the stuff you would need to do anyway... usually with stay at home moms, they do EVERYTHING. Since the other parent works and we are home with our kids, we do everything, or most of everything, so the other parent can just focus on work and being with the kids when he gets home. So basically, we are unpaid daycare providers, while we also do everything else for the kids, and everything for the house too. I am happy to say that most people who ive told im a stay at home mom, have given me compliments for doing that, but then there are people who think children shouldnt be raised at home with their mothers and should instead go to daycare. Side note: im NOT bashing moms who choose to put their kids in daycare. Although its ideal to have the kids at home, sometimes daycare is just better for families, depending on the situation. Some moms literally cant handle not having any space away from the kids ever, and its understandable. Plus, financial reasons are sometimes a thing too. With all that being said, i am SO GRATEFUL that I am a stay at home mom and I love being able to be the one who takes care of my kids full time!

When you become a mom, you are at the last place of priority and this is ok if you think that serving your family will give joy to God, because this is the reason why He created us (women), to be moms and wives.

[@Eylin859]

Oh My Gosh. Here I am feeling so lonely on this new journey, and feeling misunderstood. I became a SAHM at almost forty y.o. while living abroad with my family. No one understands my decision including family. Me a career girl, brave to live South America and live in my own in Europe at twenties. And now… The thing is I never felt so exhausted, besides I’m doing digital marketing some hours while baby is sleeping. Also I never felt so realized as a human being, with a life with purpose, bonded to my child and husband. …accepting that tiredness, lack of energy and loneliness will be a part of my life for a while, is one of the most difficult thing. Also that I can’t control everything, for example last night baby couldn’t sleep for hours, the day today were with me and the house in a mess trying to put together at least food and emotional comfort for my little one. God bless everyone. SAHM keep going your work is Amazing, even if cultural and societal norms don’t acknowledge it. Thank you so much for posting it. I completely relate to you. Xx

i feel you Ms April how hard it is to stay at home with the children. I stayed home for 4 months after i gave birth of my son, and i felt so sad when i have to go back to work. I have 4 children from teenager to an infant, and it felt like i am always on the go. i could never take a break, because i worry about everything. and when i went back to work,i looked back at the times i stayed home to be with my children, and those are my most happiest moments. how i wish i have that option to stay home and take care of my children,but we just can't afford it financially. just choose your battles. those dishes,laundry, dirt can wait. children grow too fast.

[@justiceempire1170]

If your Husband opted you to stay at home and take care of your children, it will be your luckiest opportunity to be with your children since you have two. And others can't understand that, but we Nurses knew what is the importance of Childhood and Development to a growing child. Being a Mom is the greatest opportunity you can bond with your kids and they will remember and love you more as they grow old. No need to ask, but we Nurses are flexible because we are hardworking people but we just don't want to look ghaunt and excessively haggard due to long days of work and return home without knowing if your kids are molested and abused by your Caretakers. Return home with your house looking like a garbage dump with stinky smell and your children became malnourished due to wrong food preparation or absence of a meal. Stay what you are. You knew better what is best for your kids and for your Husband. Work is just around available anytime. 💖💐🌼

And i hope all moms will always remember na kahit minsan mahirap, we’re doing it all for our children ❤️ And yes its so important na ma educate yung mga new generation na getting into parenthood is really a big responsibility.

Maraming good memories pagiging stay at home mom. Nakita mo paglaki ng mga anak mo at kung paano sila naging mabuting tao sa paglaki nila kasi nakita nila kung paano ka bilang isang ina.

[@aprilalgrably]

Tama po. Lahat hindi nagkakaroon nga ganitong chance masubaybayan ang mga anak, so I feel blessed ❤️

I'm thankful that vids like this have been coming out. Because I have been bullied by other woman for choosing to stay at home with my child. I have been misunderstood and prejudged. It feels horrible and has made me question my decisions. But when I hear other woman talk about how they feel and it's similari t to my experience I am reminded that I made the right choice for my child. My child is kind, confident, secure, smart.. the list goes on.

Sahm of 14-month-old twins and pregnant with #3.... thank you so much for making this video.

[@juliamason598]

Being a SAHM is very difficult, and like any job it takes time to learn and adjust. I have thought most of the things you spoke about. Although my house will never be as clean as yours haha!

I think as moms we try to perfect but we are only human too thanks for this video I'm a stay at home Mom of five and here lately I've been impatient and feeling no sense of self anymore I have these moments like every few months but then I pull myself back together and that's all we can do being a mom and wife is a full Time job and the single Mothers salute to us all we got this

Just got to a point where my partner can be a stay at home mom after 9 years (two kids, 9 & 4). She was working from home but got laid off around the same time my income was rising. The adjustment is tough, but thankfully I work from home and can quickly engage to help with chores, and I do all the cooking of dinners promptly after work and the grocery shopping at night or weekends. I’m doing my best to make her feel like it’s not all on her, but she’s struggling with our son wanting constant attention. It’s only been a month, so it’s still very early, but I can say it’s definitely not easy. I know she feels like others think “it must be nice”, but they have no idea. Some think they prefer to work, some would rather be home, but no matter your situation, it’s always hard. Work is hard, kids are hard. Just have empathy.

[@valoneill23]

I was blessed to be a stay at home mom for 24 years, and now I'm trying to play catch up and figure out what now?

[@justpeachy4393]

Sit down and have a cup of coffee... And guaranteed, someone will ask for juice or to go potty right after I sit down 😂
