A few of you have asked me to do an episode specifically on the struggles of being a stay at home mom (SAHM).\xa0I\u2019m excited to talk about this, cause I\u2019ll be honest\u2026 My life\u2019s dream was to be a stay at home mom and 4 months of that \u201cdream\u201d damn near killed me.\xa0I cried uncle and quit that gig (and hired a nanny) when Vinnie was still tiny.\xa0So, I have the UTMOST respect for those of you who stay home with your babies (of any age - even school age)!\nI posted on Facebook a couple weeks ago and asked for SAHMs to share their biggest struggles and I found the responses FASCINATING.\xa0First of all, it was really interesting to get a sneak peek into your lives.\xa0\nBut the most fascinating part???\xa0\nA lot of your struggles are so similar to working moms\u2019 struggles.\xa0And here we all are thinking that working moms and stay at home moms have so little in common and can\u2019t possibly \u201cget\u201d the other sides perspective.\xa0Not so.\nRegardless if you\u2019re a SAHM or working mom or work from home mom, I think you\u2019ll learn something from this episode.\xa0\nBig thanks to everyone who has reached out to me about this topic and contributed your stories and struggles.\xa0So much love for you.\xa0\nLinks mentioned:\nGet your ticket to Shameless Mom Con\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\nButcherBox - Get the Ultimate Breakfast Bundle - that\u2019s 2 packages of Bacon and 2 lbs. of Breakfast Sausage for FREE in your first box PLUS $20 off your first box, go to\xa0Butcher Box OR enter promo code SHAMELESS.\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
