Stay at Home Mom Syndrome

After giving birth to my son over 4 years ago and being a new mom at home with him for 12 weeks, I developed an entirely new respect for stay at home moms (SAHM). It is seriously the most difficult job on the planet, and one I personally don't have the patience for. 


You have no time clock, you don't get a pay check, your boss is often rather rude and wakes you at all hours of the night and even throws food occasionally, and there is no vacation time (unless you leave your child behind). 


So what does this incredibly demanding job lead to?


Of course these symptoms can also be a sign of many other medical conditions that need to be ruled out before assuming you may be suffering from SAHM syndrome. Talk with your medical provider if you are experiencing any of these to make sure you are being the best Mom you can be. :)

I promise you are not alone and you don't have to fight this battle yourself!
