School

Yes definitely! Sometimes you need a break too even just a few days for a few hours. find a preschool (in home or otherwise) that offers just a few days for 2.5-3 hrs it will be a game changer for you ❤️

You can be a stay at home mom with kids in school. You'd be able yoto attend any fields trips or offer support in their school as needed, show up to their sports/ activities etc.

If you want to send yours in, do it♥️ your 4 yr old would be in pre-k BUT check for tk programs as majority, if not ago, are free and some take in 4yr olds! It's mostly for kids who don't best the cut off for kindergarten age and so they go to tk to prep for a more formal classroom/ educational setting

I’m a SAHM but will for sure be sending my kids to school. To me it is two entirely separate things. School is very important and while I will be very sad to be away from them, I know it is the right decision

I’m a SAHM but don’t homeschool. That’s a step too far for me and I know I couldn’t cope. It’s good to know your limitations.

I’m a SAHM and my oldest in school my middle goes to daycare twice a week

Being a stay at home Mom does not mean you have to homeschool your kids all of my children will be in school

I’m a SAHM and I am not ashamed to say that I am not a born teacher. Nor was I all that great at academics (I went the art direction). For sure mine is going to school, we have voluntary pk down in FL which is free, and both a school year and summer program, as soon as she’s eligible she’ll go. Hopefully she does better than I did 🤣🤣🤣

I’m a SAHM and I’ve never homeschooled any of my kids.
I have however considered homeschooling but not because of guilt or feeling like that’s my role but because the schools suck sometimes.
But as of now all my kids go to school and even before I had a new baby I was sending them to school lol

When it was just my oldest I worked part-time as a nanny and brought him with me. I did that until he was 5 & my 2nd was 2 (& we also attended a parent + child hiking group once a week). Then covid hit & I transitioned to a being a stay at homeschooling mom. My boys are now 11, 7, & our 3rd is 3.

I personally believe my children are meant to be home with me. But it would have been extremely beneficial for my mental health to have a break when they were little. Id advise you to weigh the pros & cons and decide from there.
But don't feel pre-k is necessary (whether you choose public school or homeschooling).

I’m a mostly SAHM (I work as a per diem RN) to our one and only who is 16 months old. Not planning on any more. I will be sending him to half day pre-school when he is 3 or 4 to socialize and give me a small break.Not sure if I will homeschool or do a private school. I will go back to work more if he goes to school full time. If I had another kid though I wouldn’t think twice if I wanted to send him to school if I still had another baby to tend to - that wouldn’t mean I need to go to work, the other baby just needs you then.

I used to say, or would hear others tell me that going back to work when kids were in school sounded ideal. Turns out, absolutely not! Lol. My 4yro is in TK and my 6yro in kindergarten at our local elementary school from 8am-12:40pm. There is a week long break in October, week for Thanksgiving, 2.5 weeks for Christmas, week for Spring break and then summer. Not sure how I would find a job that can accommodate all of that. I love continuing be a SAHM. The few hours of a break when they are at school has been the best refresher! We don't live near family so it's my first time having a break. I don't ever want to go back to a job where I have to ask for time off or call in sick so looks like being a SAHM is my gig indefinitely 🤘

I do when I’m tired and frustrated 😅
