You are not alone....
Although I must say I enjoy parts of being a SAHM to my 2 boys, almost 3 and almost 5, it is completely exhausting! I do enjoy sitting down with them talking, reading, playing games etc. But I am not the mom running around the playground with a big smile on my face. Or if I do have a big smile it is more likely fake....:-)
I can't say I was born to be a SAHM, but I wasn't made to have a career either...so here I am. I am currently enjoying the process a lot more than in the past because I am realizing this is the beginning of the end of this phase of my life. The toddler phase. I want to enjoy every second. Not so much that I feel I have to do all these activities with them etc. More just paying attention to what they do. Watching them walk, play, and enjoying how adorable they are, being so little. I take time to listen to them express themselves, ask them questions and so on. Getting away from all the "shoulds" and just being in the moment, right here, with them.
