Please dont judge… i hate working after being a sahm
I’m 28 and have been a stay at home mom for 3.5 years since i had my daughter. Before that I worked full time from 18 years old to 24 years old as both a server at restaurants and then as a medical assistant while also being in school full time. I never felt tired and always had so much energy to work, school, go out with friends, making my own money etc. before I became a mother. Being a sahm has been great but I also have wished to return to working. Now, after one week of working I feel sooo burnt out and come home from work feeling like I’m returning from war!!
I was so excited to return to working & never knew i would feel this way but I dread returning to work each day and now even thoughts of having a second baby and continuing to be a sahm have popped into my mind. I feel disgusted at myself because I want to be that girl I once was who loved making her own money, never ran out of energy and loved to work. Not just being a mom. I want to continue to be more than that but it’s like my body wants to stay in its comfort zone of being at home with my daughter.
Has anyone else been through this or can relate?
