Hello! We seem to be in the minority in my home town. It's a decision I've made that i believe it right for my child and would never suggest that others making different decisions are wrong as its a very personal choice. However, connecting with others in the same boat is quite challenging !! Would love to hear more from others!

Do you feel iceolated because your a stay at home mum is that what your tryin to say? If so your not alone they are lots of women out there experiencing the exact same thing, thank god for technology, but don't always depend on taking to the internet to feel the company of others. Get out there and meet new people even if it means joining certain parent and child play groups that way your child is making new friends and you are making new friends and interacting more with people. Try not to iceolate yourself and your child it can be very lonely for you and your child and also frustrating. Hope this helps.

Hi there... Not isolating myself :-( its just that most mums here return to work and children are in daycare or cared for by grandparents so its difficult to meet people closer to my age.

Ok that's why I mentioned the play groups so that you can meet other parents your age and become friends. I know its hard being a young mum, I'm assuming you are young mum? You tend to lose touch of old friends and the only communication you have is with your child, you start to crave for an adult conversation. You could maybe hook up with old school friends that are in the same situation as you, I'm assuming you do have facebook? I'm sure its worth a try you could meet up or invite the over and cook a meal at yours with a bottle of wine once you've put your child to bed. They are just some options I'm suggersting to help you.

Hi, I am a stay at home mom still to a 17 yr old. I have three kids and worked like a dog for yrs. I became a member in a church that started a moms support group and was involved in it for about 15yrs. It was awesome. Making the decision to stay home with my kids was the best one. No matter what soceity says about it, kids need their moms. They need that security they get from knowing mom is always there for them. So keep up the good work. Motherhood is the hardest most thankless job there is yet is brings so many blessings.

Welcome to CC! I stayed home to raise our children and really enjoyed it. They're grown now. Are you're children very young? One thing that saved my sanity was belonging to a playgroup. The moms could visit while the children played. Hope you find something like that where you live :).
