Perhaps you would feel better if you were to go out and do some volunteer work once or twice a week. There are many women who would love your lifestyle as they are forced to work in order to put the next meal on the table. Be grateful what you have and if necessary seek out some type of counseling that may help you create a schedule in order to you feel better about yourself.

First of all good for you not being all motivated by your career and staying home with our kids. But it can all get a bit too much and i'm guessing you might be resenting yr kids a little as they are the reason you can't go out and do as much as you want to do or be spontaneous.
It probably would be an idea for you to have a break, but in the long term, why don't ou set aside and hour or so a day for your time? Get the kids to go to a freinds or get their father to look after them and treat yourself doing whatever you want to do. maybe start a class or something where you can socialise and get away from normality for a while, or even get a part time job for when the kids are at school?
There's not need to feel bad, i'm sure there are millions of women accross the world feeling the same!

It sounds like you are bored out of your mind being a stay at home mom. However, I know other people who struggle through it everyday just to live a peaceful... or well... boring life.
Truth is... you are learning something about what society thinks is the suitable place for moms to be..... in the home and taking care of the children. Since you are going through this phase right now... it's time to ask yourself.. is this what you want?
Do you think a simple schedule will solve it all? I know it may sound difficult but sometimes people think being a stay at home mom.. ..is a life of being trapped in the home FOREVER.
Are you ready to commit to that or do you want to do other things? Get involved in the activities you like. Do something at home or go online on ebay to earn extra money or sell some things. Learn more about businesses... or find a night or evening class to take during your spare time. Or hire a pool boy to keep you busy (just joking). But keep yourself focused.... I know what boredom feels like. Whatever you do.... take some time to relax and meditate for a few minutes or hours. Do whatever works for you.

While it is very fulfilling to be a stay-at-home full-time Mom, it can also wear you out having nobody to talk to except children all day every day. You need to schedule a Mom's day out at least every other week. Just do any old thing, lunch with the girls, a movie, whatever. It gives you something to look forward to and breaks up the monotony. Your kids will appreciate it, too. (Sounds like they could use a break)

Find something to do inside your home---scrap booking, cooking new things, rearranging your closet----take a walk w/ a friend or your dog---if you don't have a dog buy one---or buy a new pet---take sign language classes, learn a foreign language

How do you mistreat your "healthy" kids? Why would you? You need to get help!
