And once you get your confidence it's here to stay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-698165 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:50:34 +0000 shopaholic 698165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: @googly-eyes: Thanks for the input ladies! 3-4 months would have sounded like forever and awful to me prior baby arriving, but the first month has flown by! I'm looking forward to being able to do more with baby and working on the confidence day by day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697693 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:24:54 +0000 Running Elley 697693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely stay at home mom! I would feel stuck if I didn't have my own car though. We get out of the house at least once every day and that makes all the difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697692 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:24:48 +0000 sera_87 697692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuck. This winter has gone on forEVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697628 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:28:23 +0000 googly-eyes 697628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I felt the same way! I know some people say they're easiest to take out the younger they are but my LO was really fussy on outings for the first 4 months. She's getting close to 7 months now and easy to take out! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697621 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:24:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 697621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>STUCK! I love not working an being with my child 24/7 *but* in Michigan, we can't do anything that many other moms can do.<br /> No park..it's freezing all the time..<br /> No nice mommy/baby classes because my city is so small and lame...<br /> No zoos nearby..nothing!<br /> I love being with my son all day but both him and I are stuck and we can't even do fun things together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697560 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 15:28:14 +0000 Ree723 697560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely stay! I love my time at home with DD, even on the rough days, and would much rather stay at home than be stuck at work, missing out on time with her. We do get out a lot but are also happy to hang out around the house as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697481 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:24:47 +0000 lemondrop 697481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: It took me a full 3 months to gain confidence with him to go out regularly without getting rattled by him crying. Honestly, I was scared of him and wasn't confident in how to calm him down for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697476 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:21:25 +0000 lemondrop 697476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only really feel stuck when I have work from home assignments that prevent us from getting out. I love hanging out with my little guy and coming up with interesting places to go. Feeling stuck with him hasn't been an issue for a long time, and I make sure we get out at least once a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697453 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:09:21 +0000 googly-eyes 697453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both but mostly stay. I do plan to work in the future though so maybe that's why I'm not a stuck at home mom! I can relate though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697422 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:04:00 +0000 Mrs.B 697422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay at home :) some days are rough but those days don't happen very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697380 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:02:21 +0000 rawrasaur 697380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay at home for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697379 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 11:59:23 +0000 shopaholic 697379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since it's still so new for us, most days probably "stuck" but I feel so happy I get to "stay" at home with her. The "stuck" part is mostly just my own fears and anxiety about taking her out and about still. Once we have a more predictable schedule and I have more mommy confidence, I doubt I'll ever feel stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697365 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 11:48:09 +0000 travelgirl1 697365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay at home : ) But I've only been doing it for five months so I still feel pretty new to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697364 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 11:46:07 +0000 heffalump 697364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay at home. Were usually only home for nap time, we are always out and about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697322 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:55:20 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 697322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuck 24/7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697315 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:48:48 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 697315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697312 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:42:12 +0000 littlecasita1122 697312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay at home...we usually get out of the house at least 3-4 days a week to do errands, walk around the mall, etc. Never feel stuck. Definitely agree that things would be different if we didn't have two cars, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697311 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:41:04 +0000 loveisstrange 697311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuck at home mom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697297 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:25:21 +0000 bpcmarj 697297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmmm. I sometimes feel stuck. But, at the same time I love being home with her. Conflicting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697285 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:17:37 +0000 tysonja 697285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha... i'm a stay at home mom.... :)</p> <p>HOWEVER, if we didn't have two cars, i'd definitely feel more like a stuck at home one! :) definitely need to get out once a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697269 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:07:05 +0000 HLK208 697269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy 75/25 being a stay at home mom, that other 25, I feel stuck! It won't be forever and my babies won't always be so small though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697268 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:06:39 +0000 pinkcupcake 697268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay :) I love being home and never once felt stuck, literally or figuratively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697227 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 09:39:53 +0000 Bao 697227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay at home mom :) ....most of the time anyway. We were stuck at home for over a month in the winter when we only had one car, but now we are back in the groove and can go wherever, whenever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahm#post-697225 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 09:37:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 697225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard the term today SAHM: stuck at home mom. Hahaha! I laughed because that's totally how I felt all winter long... I'm actually really enjoying getting out 4x a week for work! </p> <p>Are you a stay at home mom, or a stuck at home mom? </p>
