Stay at home mom struggles
I have a 2yr old daughter, a 1yr old son and I'm 13 weeks pregnant. I used to work before I became a mom, I was a department manager at a local company. I loved my job, it made me feel important and like a real adult. Now I say home with the babies (completely my choice) and I'm so bored with my life, I feel like I need enrichment.
To all you moms who worked before your babies and are now at home, how do you deal with these feelings of missing having a job and wanting to go back to work? I know its so important right now to be home with them, but I can't help miss my old job.

I feel this!! I used to be in food service and was super social with people all day every day and now I sit at home with an 11 month old. I try to do things that make me feel kinda like I’m working I guess. So I do a lot of baking while I’m home. Also trying to get out of the house with my son and go do something or trying to meet up with people for some of that social interaction I’m missing.
Honestly tho even keeping busy I still miss having a job some days
