Hi! I'm a mom of two and I've been a SAHM for about 15 months.

Among my family and friends, I'm the only one living this kind of life. All the other moms have gone back to work, so sometimes it feels like my choice is seen as unusual.

I often get asked when I'm going back to work, and some comments make me feel uncomfortable, even though I know they're not always meant in a negative way.

I'm wondering if anyone else here is in the same situation. Are you also the only SAHM in your family or friend group? Do you feel any pressure to go back to work, or find it difficult to connect with people who understand this stage of life?
