Does any Stay-at Home Mom's ever get tired of their kids?!

It is soooo normal. People don't realize that being a stay at home mom is a job and a hard one at that. It is also completely underappreciated. Missing that adult conversation is one of my biggest complaints as well. When it's time for a break I tell my duaghter that I love her dearly but I need some "me-time". Don't feel guilty because you need the breaks to keep you sane.

It is just like anyone else you are around all the time. I love my family but if I do not get a break from them they can drive me nuts. It is normal, just a lot of moms are afraid to voice that. They think others will think they are a bad parent for feeling that way. If they spoke up they would probably find it is more common than they thought.

This is one of many reasons that I don't want children. They zap everything out of you and leave you with nothing. I hope you are able to find some adult time to recharge your batteries.

This is completely normal! I felt this same way when I was a stay at home mom. I would recommend that you get to know your neighbors or talk to your spouse about getting out of the house and going out and doing something adult. Drop the kids off with a sitter and have a good time! I also recommend seeing if there are other stay at home mothers in your area and seeing if there are any groups that you can join or start one of your own. You will get to meet with others who are in your same positition as you are and be able to have adult conversations. If you start your own group, you will also get the chance to stretch those brain cells by coming up with things to do that will entertain the kids while giving the moms something to do as well!

Girl, please, it is to normal. I once had someone ask me what I do to relax and get time away from the kids. My answer? I get a job. lol.

I am so glad you asked, because I felt the same way. Tired and bored and when see other stay at home happy, wonder but then I found out that you need to go out alone some days do what you like..there is nothing wrong in that. I decided to put my son with baby sitter and just go alone and enjoy even if I am doing chores. Stay at home is the tough job ever and still you meet people who say..oh so you don't work..well no..we work harder than anyone. The perks of being at home are great..your kid knows that you always have time for them. It is best if every week you get even if it is one hour by yourself.

you should watch desperate housewives i think you would be able to relate with the plot and especially the characters.

Totally normal, I feel this way sometimes too. What I wouldn't give for some adult conversations sometimes. I guess that's why I like Mylot.

i know 110% hopw you feel.Our son is only one(on wed!!) but somedays im just over being a mum!!! How you're feeling is NORMAL & theres nothing wrong with needing some me time with no children.

god yes - i want to stay at home with them while they are young and i mainly enjoy it but its not just being a stay at home mum its being a stay at home cleaner, cook, teacher, entertainer, shopper etc etc... and to top it all we don't get paid and we don't get a lunch break or tea break and we don't have set hours. Its pretty much a 24 hour a day job and i dont think its something we should feel guilty about if we sometimes desire a break from it!!

well, iam sorry buti dont agree with u..

so if u want to then go doesnot bother any thing

being a mom/wife is a 24/7 job so i don't blame you if you get tired of it sometimes. maybe you should talk to your husband and say that you really want to go back to work. i'm not married yet,bt i know that if i stay at home to be the common housewife i'd probably be bored as hell. so i always tell my fiance i won't stop working. or i'll stop for a while when we have kids then eventually go back again when they're big enough to be left with a sitter. there are some who say they enjoy being a mom a lot, and i suppose that's true for you too, but i bet others are also experiencing the same way and feeling the same way as you are.

some times it may happen but mom never get tired of their kids..

Even mothers that have to work get tired of working and then going home to take care of kids. We all need time for ourselves. Set a date and do something for yourself. You deserve it.

well, its pretty common for a sahm mom to want to get out and do something else. i don't mind staying home with my kids, i'm sure you're not alone. i do get tired of the kids cartoons and baby talk. having adult contact and conversation is not wrong. you shouldn't feel guilty about it. there are other outlets...thats why i'm on the computer a lot, its adult conversation (most of the time) and its somewhats interaction.

Sometimes I need a break also. So I will leave for a little while for some me time. You always need to give yourself that, or you will go crazy! But I am very grateful that I have a wonderful husband that takes care of all of our financial needs and that I am able to stay home with my son. I can't imagine going to work everyday and not spending my day with him.

oh lucky me. i'm still not in that stage. i'm also a stay home mom but my boy is still a baby. so, im still enjoying this time that he is not making my life crazy. but i also work for a while before and every time i am outside the house i usually wanna go back home and be with him. if you wanna have a little bit of a life but still enjoy the company of your kids, better have some hobby or something. like go back to school and take your masters or go to the gym and exercise. or socialize with people from your neighborhood. that way you can have different type of friends and enjoy.

Oh I can definitely confirm this. My 3 and 4 1/2 yr old are sapping my brain cells away by the thousands. I'm surprised I can function at all by the time my husband gets home from work.. I probably sound like a cave woman by the end of the day. Seriously.. I get so tired of "Ok, mommy. You get to be Polly now. I'm gonna be..." OMG!!!! GRRR.

it is so normal to feel that way from time to time, What I do is go out to several moms nights out a month and that gives me the time to myself that I need
