Stay Home Mom

Question

I have been a career woman for 20 years since I started working at the age of 19. Now I am 40 years old and have my first baby this year Jan 2020. I have been having this dilemma, either go back to work after baby is born or be a stay home mom. Somehow the current virus situation kind of make the decision for me. The competitive job market... the uncertainty of the safety at workplace and infant care centre are some of the reasons that make me decide to stay home with my baby. However, I really dont know how to feel fulfilled being a stay home mom. At the back of my mind, I fear that I may get obsolete. I hope some stay home mom out there can give me some tips on how you go through each day at home. How do you keep yourself stay relevant? What else can you do besides taking care of baby, do housework and cook. Basically, I feel lost and feel stuck at home. I just dont know how to be a stay home mom and feel happy about it. Maybe because Im so used to working.

I totally get where youre coming from. Being a stay-at-home mom after a long career can be quite a transition. Its natural to feel lost and unsure about how to find fulfillment. Have you considered exploring new hobbies or taking up online courses to keep yourself engaged and learning? Also, connecting with other stay-at-home moms in online communities can provide great support and tips. By the way, while browsing online, I came across some info about electrician careers. Theres the post: in Alabama Licenses are Issued Through Alabama Electrical Contractors Board on https://www.hvacschools411.com/ . Just wanted to share! Oh, and Im new here on the forum. Nice to meet you!
