SAHMMY PROS:
not dressing up in the morning
not putting on makeup
not talking to weird work people
getting all the chores done before everyone gets home
running all the errands without interruption
kids come home from school early
SAHMMY CONS:
not dressing up in the morning
not putting on makeup
not talking to ANYONE really
getting all the chores done by yourself
running all the errands by yourself
the kids are always home!
I have been trying out this SAHMMY business now for about 4 months, and I can say my stress level has significantly decreased, but the loneliness factor is definitely kicking in. I am an introvert, and I just don't make friends. We've made a couple here and there as a family, but not much else.
There is an opportunity to do some work, and I think I'm going to do it.
SAHMTWRY (Stay at Home Mommy That Works Remotely) Pros:
not dressing up in the morning
not putting on makeup
talking to work people
errand and chores be damned
kids still come home early but get to hang out with friends for a couple of hours in aftercare (they have been begging and mommy is boring anyway)
We shall see...
