Your third lesson is learning that your not the same person you once were, you’re not just #JaneSmith anymore you are a milk making, diaper changing, snot nose wiping mother. You almost forget your prior identity, what are my hobbies again, what was my best friends name, my favorite place to go dancing? I think we can all agree life changes tremendously and you probably didn’t realize how much it was going to change or how differently your thoughts and decisions would be, you don’t just have yourself to think about you have this little person who depends on you, for some that can be a scary thing especially if your not good with #Change.The best part about being a #SAHM is seeing them grow and not realizing where time went because you are having so much fun teaching your baby and hearing them laugh at the silly faces or sounds that you make.
The exciting milestones, when they start rolling over, when they sit up all by themselves, their first tooth and all the others that follow. Those are memories you will want to #Cherish for the rest of your life! Being a #SAHM also includes a long list of chores so it’s not all fun in games and watching our favorite #soaps, your laundry the hubby's laundry and babies laundry. That’s 3 loads of laundry already that’s not including towels and bedding, best way to figure that in is to pick one day a week to tackle that mess that means folding and hanging too. Next chore on the list is cooking and the dishes that come with it, what has worked for me is to clean while you cook less dishes to wash when dinner is over and this is daily #IDontWannaDoIt. That is just some of the daily chores that you will be consuming your day with.
Finding time for yourself can become almost a non existent thing, do I nap while baby naps and take advantage of the well deserved sleep or do I stay up and catch up on my favorite series because let’s face it your child is the one who decides when they’re tired so you probably have a short window of time to do anything you really want to do or not do. Being a #SAHM is not for everyone and some don’t understand your decision to stay home with your baby and maybe you won’t be a #SAHM forever but take this time to bond, teach, love and cherish these moments because they won’t be here forever.
I may have forgotten who I used to be and I may not know who I'm going to end up being but I do have thing to say, I accept this challenge to learn be to open and explore the wonders of motherhood. We are embarking on a new journey in our lives and all the trials and tribulations that come with it. I didn't choose the Stay At Home Life, The Stay At Home Life chose me #MomsAreAmazing.
