Mothers who get depressed because they are stuck at home with the kids shouldn’t be mothers in the first place.
I was at home for all 4 kids and had a blast with them - the MOST important job in the world.
“I was at home for all 4 kids and had a blast with them”.
I stayed home with all three. My last one is set for kindergarten in the Fall and I am already weepy. Children with stay at home Moms, IMHO, are better behaved. For example, I volunteered on one of the school trips and there was a group of girls who were being just pistols. My one friend said “watch this” and asked them what daycare they had been in. Each one of them answered her with a group name. I was astonished (how did she know?). She use to do daycare in her home and said she can spot a daycare kid a mile away.
