Your to sick

With my diagnosis and for mental health reasons I am unable to stay home with my kids.

Maybe I am too sick, some may say. Or I am unstable.

whatever the case maybe I am not a stay-at-home mom

My experience

Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids.

I am just unable to mentally handle the load of it now.

I used to stay home with my kids, back when we had two kids. I honestly don’t know how I did it. I of course had a routine and structure.

But after my mental break everything shifted, and my mind started working a different way.

I am a different person then I use to be. I miss the old me and my old body. After having three kids your body changes.

So, I work part time and I am happy doing that. My kids go to school and daycare. I am lucky to have a good job and have my kids go somewhere safe during the day.

Of course, things change over time, that includes people.

Being a stay-at-home mom takes a lot of patience. I am proud of other moms who stay at home with their kids. They are the real all stars.

since this blog was short here are some more blogs dealing with my mental health and of course kids :)

Happy reading
