The past few weeks I kept questioning if staying at home is really what I should be doing more often than I usually do.You see, it's five years now since I left the workforce. So there I was like a tennis ball being shuttled back and forth between going back to work and continuing my semi-retirement.I finaly settled on staying home. This ding-dong will get me nowhere.I wasn't spending time productively with the kids nor am I working. We are not living in luxury but we aren't actually depending on welfare.Though I sometimes wish SAHMs get a dole.I still have the privacy of my home with no one breathing down my neck on how I should raise my kids and manage my household.Plus my kids are still cute and huggable.So for now, I'm staying.
Since I took that decision,I find myself doing more things with my kids, especially the boys. Instead of running around with their toys aimlessly and fighting every five minutes, we share moments together through art & craft, playing with the montessori materials or just having a game of scrabble.
Maybe I'm gonna regret this five years later, but right now, I'm enjoying the bliss of motherhood....
