As the title states I am burn out and desperately wish I could be a homemaker and stay at home mom.
I am 32 year old wife and mother to a kindergartener. I have worked full time since graduating college. My job is fine, I hold a lower management position in an office. Its a short commute and my pay is decent. However, lately I’ve just been feeling so unfulfilled and tired of the elbow rubbing, office lingo and office politics.
When thinking of what truly makes me happiest, I realize how much I actually love taking care of my home and family. I like baking and decorating. I enjoy cleaning and beautifying my home. I don’t mind handling family errands and folding laundry. I have worked full time my child’s entire life. For a while it was fine, I had postpartum depression and getting out to go to work and have kid free time actually helped me. But now I am sad my child will have to spend summers in daycare instead of me being my child and their friends to the pool, library excursions or doing fun summer activities.
I hate corporate life and I feel like it just does not fit my personality. I always feel like I need to struggle to fit it. I find networking cringey and sometimes feel like people take things far too seriously.
Any other professional women feel this way? Ugh I just want a simple life with my home and family.
