How many stay at home moms are there here?
I'm a stay at home mom for now b/c I
can't drive yet. I had to quit my job in
north carolina and I haven't been able to
find a job here yet. I kinda want to go
back to work b/c i'm getting really bored
being at home but I don't want to put
rylee in daycare. My doctor also told me
to take it easy for awhile and not rush
back to work if I didn't have to. I want
to just work part-time but w/ daycare
being so expensive it would be kinda
pointless b/c my paychecks would probably
just pay for that. I wish there was
something I could do from home. I never
thought that I would feel this way! After
working through my whole pregnancy and
being on my feet all day I thought I would
really enjoy the time off! I do love
being at home w/ her though. I just get
so bored and lonely! I'm not used to
this!

I know how you feel angie! I have been
out of school since february and sometimes
I feel so useless and bored! Josh will be
nearly 5 months old when I finally get to
go back. But dont worry, im pretty sure
its normal! I dont like ptting josh and
daycare either but I hadall last year to
get to know the care takers and I love
them and trust them a lot. So it makes me
feel better about it, plus I get to spend
3rd period with him every day. Which is
10:20 am to 11:50 am. And I can spend my
lunch there too. So I could have until
12:20. I don't eat lunch anyways. Lol.
Maybe you could drop by and spend your
lunch break with her in daycare? I dunno.
Sorry im not much help but I know how ya
feel!

Start an in-home daycare! That way you
can be at home with your son and still be
making money. That is what one of my
friends is doing. I think she has five
kids now (which I think in pa is the limit
for an in-home daycare) anyway, it is an
idea!

Yea, start an in home daycare. I did it
last summer. And now is a great time b/c
school is starting, and parent that left
their young one's with their older kids
have to find daycare b/c the older kids
are going back to school. If you plan it
out right you can make lot's of money.
But be careful most states only allow you
to have 6 children without being lisenced.

Angie do not start an in home daycare!
Trust me! It is wayyy too stressing and
not worth it. I can tell you a million
stories from my moms house lol. You
cannot tame some kids and they go wild and
destroy your house. My mom watched...6
kids. Kristen, hope, romeo, floppy,
jeremy and julian. And I could only last
there about 20 minutes before all those
rodents drove me nuts. They scream and
fight and yell and run and spit and spill
things and they need diapers changed and
they eat so much. I swear I would go over
with a granola bar and all of them are
like "i want some I want some, can I have
some!?" and they surround me and im like
"back up rodents!! Mine!!!!!!" lol dont
do it. Talk to my mom if you want lol.
Shes always like im too old for this, they
drive me crazy! And them kids tear apart
her house too.
But cant you find something to do? I know
ill be out and bored so im gonna work on
decorating my apartment, and organize
things, clean house, read, and visit my
mom, visit jose for lunch, do everything
to keep busy lol. Is there anyone you can
visit? Walk to the park? Start arts and
crafts? I dont know

Maybe you could be a caregiver, like spend
your days with elderly people keeping them
company and cooking them lunch. I bed
they'd let you bring the baby along.

Floppy, lol. That is funny!
Well, yes it takes a great deal of
patience and it is not for everyone, but I
just thought I would suggest it. My
friend who does it loves it, and she has
"weeded" out the bad seeds and got all
well behaved children now.

Yeah thats if your lucky, but the rest are
just wild, especially with other kids,
they just fight too much. Your friend
loves it? Well I can see cuz she has good
kids but thats rare, so many kids these
days are monsters

Yes, many kids these days are freakin
monsters, but of course I blame the
parents in most cases.
Yeah, she does love it. But, she is that
type of person. I personally wouldn't be
able to do it. I would lose my mind!
The only part that bothers her is that her
job is at home so she is in the house way
too often. That is enough to drive
anyone crazy.
