I am home all the time. I dont have our car cuz DH has to use it for work until he gets this new job, then ill have a car. I dont have many friends ether. Anyhow after my son was born I had a mental break down. Got over it an the depression even off the meds and started bbs for 3 months but I had to stop due to that childs behavior an I was getting overwhelmed. I wont bbs full time ever again. Now that I have more time an nothing to do I feel like Im falling back into a depression. I have my kids all the time so I cant get a job. I am studying for my GED but thats hard with the 2 lil ones interupting all the time. I have nothing to do an it kinda makes me feel worthless. Any ideas on busy work besides keeping the house clean?
What do you mean you can't get a job because you have your kid's all the time? Have you never heard of day care or baby sitters, pre school? You can apply for jobs online then search for a baby sitter, try checking local colleges for students who could use a few bucks for a couple of hours while you go inteviews if they come up.
Im a really paranoid mother. I dont trust anyone with my kids. I just keep tryin to hang in there till they start school.

Where do you live? Lol in a non creepy question
Play with your kids! I make playing with and teaching my son my #1 priority. If you just pride yourself on the job that you are doing with your kids, you will feel like that is YOUR JOB! It is, after all, our jobs as SAHM to be moms. Read, play, do arty things, go for walks talk about nature, go to the park... Your kids being intelligent, loving, happy humans is your job. Housework can slide. My 17 month old loves to help me cook too,cooking/baking is a great way to relieve stress. I feel your pain.
I completly feel your pain. Like word for word. I haven't had a breakdown yet. But I feel one coming lol. It's terrible. I agree with some of the previous ladies. I would work on your GED & then go to college online. & make playing with your kids your priority. Some people don't understand how expensive childcare is, and if you don't have an education then all the hours you work basically go to paying for daycare! I would say find things you love to do and do them as often as possible, ie cooking, crafts, walks etc. & as far as keeping the house clean\, get the kiddos involved. DD is 13 months old & helps me pick up, she likes to try and sweep and even wipes things down lol. It takes a bit longer but it gets done and she's intertained in the process!! Good luck momma
