When my oldest son was born I was working full time in an office. I was lucky enough to be able to work part of the time at home. My days still were very structured, I had a lot of office work with deadlines for clients that had to get done. I only had the one baby, so it was fairly easy to keep up with the house and work. Fast forward 11 years, I now have a 3, 5 & 11-year-old and have been home with the kids since the 5-year-old was born.
Being a stay at home mom definitely makes for some interesting days.
I love being able to be home for my kids, I am definitely grateful for that. I do find it much harder to constantly keep up with household things, like laundry and dishes. I always thought it would be easier to do that, but with kids home, during the day there are more dishes & more laundry from cleaning up spills or toddler accidents.
No matter whether you are a stay at home mom or work outside the home, a mother’s job never ends.
I’d love to hear your stories. Are you a stay at home mom? Are you a working outside the home mom? What have your experiences been?
Have a good night!
