??s for sahms with two or more
I'm feeling a little unfulfilled right now. I don't feel like I'm doing anything right and the successes are so small that I am not getting any sense of accomplishment.
how do I fix this? Maybe it's just me? Maybe I need to get these girls in daycare and get a job?
I'm just frustrated right now. I dunno...

Re: ??s for sahms with two or more
I go through patches where I feel like this. When I do I just make myself think about all the things I have been there for or would not be apart of if I did go to work outside of the home. I also make myself take a good look at why I'm feeling the way I am. Usually its because we have gotten into a "boring" routine and the kids are bored which in return makes me bored and cranky. I try to change it up and see if that helps. It usually does for me. A friend of mine takes her kids to daycare 1 day a week just to have "me time". She either goes shopping, does errands, or sometimes just stays home to do housework or relax. I'm jealous of her time sometimes.
That doesn't mean that it will work for everyone. There is absolutely nothing wrong if you need to put them in daycare and get a job. You need to do what works for you and your family. If it makes you a better mom then go for it!
I couldn't take it anymore so I got a part time job and love it! I was getting to the point where I wanted to pull my hair out. Now it's just a matter of adjusting because by the time I pick them up from daycare, get them fed, bathed, ready for bed, etc. I feel like I have no time to do anything else that is on my list to do
Plus, since DH is rarely home after I get off work, it sucks trying to find something for dinner for all of us. I could totally just fen for myself but pretty sure the kids would get sick of hot dogs, chicken nugs, pbj, you get the jist. 
You need to take some time for yourself. Even if it's hiring a babysitter to got get a pedicure or go shopping.
