It’s the look people give you when you say you’re a full time mum, they look at you like 😟 & I’m at the point where I’m like “yeah no I’m a full time mum, I home educate my 6yo and look after my 1yo” like I’m trying to justify it, they’re my babies why would I want anyone else to be their main care giver 🥲

I feel this way too, but what people don’t understand is it’s actually just as hard as going to work. I work 2 days a week but still feel like I’m embarrassed to be at home in the week? Due to financial/funding reasons we’re better off if she stays home so effectively I don’t have much choice and sometimes I do wish I could go back to work but I also feel lucky. It’s a weird feeling xx

Gosh I’m on mat leave and dreading the day I need to go back to work and hand my baby over to some strangers (and basically pay a second mortgage in nursery fees) so I can answer emails. Honestly, this is the most important job ever and I wish I could afford to be a SAHM. Be proud you’re able to prioritise your baby 🩵

You have a husband providing an income so you are allowed to stay at home x

Yes, feel this 100%! It’s the best decision for me and my partner as neither of us feel ready putting her into nursery and fortunately we are in a position where I can take slightly longer off work (I know not everyone had the choice). However, I definitely get the vibe people think I’m lazy and just choosing not to work as if it wasn’t a conversation between both me and my partner!
