Is anyone else struggling with their identity? I have a toddler and a 2 month old and I’m a sahm. I realized today that I don’t do anything except for mom. I used to bake and go to the gym and be a person but I can’t even remember the last time I baked or even stepped foot in a gym. I love my kids but I feel like I’m not me anymore. My husband is also military so with him being gone and no “village” it just seems impossible to do anything for me.

I felt that, but what can we do. It’s for a good time but not a long time. Time will go by fast and then we will miss them being babies 😭

Do you not utilize the on post gyms? “most of them” have mommy rooms where we can workout and the kids can play in a small play area or read books it was how I stayed active before I got my own home equipment ((I’m also an army mom (meaning I’m the service member) so out resources may be different)) spouses can use the gyms tho

I feel this. I have a 2 month old+ a tot, sahm, and a military wife as well. I have asked myself these questions too. I think incorporating your baking with your tot would help. I made an apron for mine and bought a chefs hat for us both. She LOVES to bake/cook with me.
