Ladies- how do you handle being a stay at home mom?

[Anonymous]

I really need to find a mom group but can’t seem to click with other moms. I’m not necessarily a people person nor outgoing.. but I feel like I’m drowning. My daughter (4yr) has a rare disease that is going into remission (Thank you Jesus) but she is on Steroids and she has behavioral problems. I have a two year old son (terrible twos) and am basically a single stay at home parent.. husband is a Federal Marshal and a reserve solider and is either physically gone or emotionally gone. I’m in an area where no family is close. And my mother has health issues/ onset dementia so she is unreliable. If you’re a mom- please give me some advice or encouragement.

I’ve been told by a lot LOT of people to stay away from marrying a woman whose a stay at home mom. That it’s almost always one sided for the woman and the man gets little to nothing in return. Not all stay at home moms are like this, and even they will say be careful marrying one.

They’re sone of the most ungrateful people I’ve ever seen. They stay home and take care of the kids. When the husband gets home instead of being able to relax (as in the old days botj worked equally hard in different roles) they come home to a nagging wife and a honey do list. When he shouldn’t have to list a finger.

They’re notorious for cheating. I’ve talked to divorce lawyers, people in mental health, relationship coaches, people who have been married to them, stay at home moms, military, and many more. Who say avoid them at all costs or be very careful who you marry

It’s NOT the days of old

This is first of all- idiotic and unrelated. I stay at home because I’m raising my children and supporting a sick child. My husband in return gets a clean house, a cooked meal, a family who loves him and appreciates him. I think you are either trolling or there is something wrong with you.

Maybe you’re not the type. I’m just saying what I heard. Glad you genuinely love your husband. Like I said I’ve met stay at home moms who are good. But they even said that they met some horrible ones.

I assume he doesn’t have to lift a finger when he comes home from work.

Obviously I'm not a girl or a single parent, but I can tell you what my mom did when we were growing up. It probably took some courage but she literally went to somebody's house that she knew to a degree that had kids the same age and pretty much just asked if she wanted to hang out while the kids played together. We ended up growing up with her kids and hanging out there all the time. My mom would go there and have her coffee time with the other mother while we played with the other kids. I never knew any difference I learned this years later to how our family friendship started. I wasn't even born yet she did this with my oldest sister that carried on to all four of us as we were born.
