I too am a lawyer turned STHM plus i moved abroad from the UK. At first it was really difficult for me too and i just felt like i was wasting my life until i started to appreciate having a family and children. Some people are not as fortunate as i am and i am thankful to god for that. I’ve been married for three years and have a 17 month old daughter and i find that having date nights with hubby is what keeps me zane. Honestly i used to avoid help from others thinking that i can do everything but i now take every single opportunity to be alone with my husband who at first didn’t like the idea of being apart from our daughter. I want to hopefully have more children and have put aside the next 5 years to breeding and breastfeeding and then i want to pick up myself and do what i like doing because right now my body and soul is being shared with my little one. Lastly taking care of yourself doesn’t have to cost a lot i.e go for a walk for exercise buy nail polish and paint your own nails. Being a STHM is much more worthy than the £60k salary i used to get but you only value this with time.

Lovely. I think we all reach some stage of boredom. It’s good to get up and go out there.

I think boredom is more incessant when there are mental conditions ailing mothers. Depression, ADD, stuff like that. It can make your best efforts seem futile at times.

So true! Boredom is not possible when we maximize our time at home. I agree with you on that!

These are great tips! I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past 22 years, and I swear I have yet to be bored. I always say, “only boring people get bored” but I don’t mean that in an insulting way (although I know it sounds like it!) But really…how can you be bored when there’s so many things to do? Your tips prove this!
