Is it a lack of discipline and structure? Is it Yahoo Answers!
Stuff gets done, the kids are good, the dinner is good, the laundry baskets are only half full, but .... that's because I work QUICKLY. Somebody help me. Advice?
BTW -- - I do teach a few classes each month... and do some other work from home.

I am a male, but the problem still is the same. When we were working out in the business sector, whatever kind of work we did was a form of creation. The work we do at home is considered by us as daily or weekly chores. Therefore we fail to see or feel the creativity of those things and they become mundane efforts.
Remember that while making the beds, washing the clothes, cooking, cleaning the house or the yard that what you are doing is creating something beautiful. Vision the end results of this creativity as you do these tasks and you will feel much better inside.

You sound unfulfilled. It sounds like you have exactly what I wanted years ago. I wanted to stay at home to raise my child. I only got to do it for about 24 months. At the time I would have really envied you. The grass is always greener on the other side!
You are doing the most important job in the world. Mine comes in second. I teach. You do both!
It just sounds like you need to find something to do that is an advocation. Something just for your own personal fulfillment. Try to get out a little more too.
And so what if it doesn't take you all day to keep your house in order. That's the beauty of being at home. Enjoy.

You are blessed by having both worlds. I teach too and stay at home. Also have internet business. Sound like you're bored. You want more of a challenge or being with the public. Start a business or club for stay at home moms. Maybe get involved with a charity. There's always something to do. When you help others it's rewarding. Always keep God first!

You were used to the type of job where you run constantly and get work done until quitting time. Mom is a different kind of job. On most days it will be less actual work, but being on-call 24-7 makes it just as much of a job.
It sounds like you need something to keep you busy. You could babysit other people's kids--it would add to your list of tasks and keep you busy, but would still let you be home to take care of your kids. It sounds like you are unable to find something interesting enough to do part time to snap you out of this rut even though you have tried.

It sounds like you are frustrated. You get your responsibilities done, regardless of how long it takes you. (You're efficient at worst!)
Keeping your focus on the children is a hard thing to do. I suggest if you can't place your children in some kind of daycare for at least 12 hours a week to try to stimulate them in depth independently. Could you do research and make a book about crafty and interesting developmental play that you can do with your children daily?

i am not sure but you should find more jobs that are hard to lose.Get a job you enjoy and like doing because you could get stressed out by that.So i would look in the community paper for local jobs.If you find a job in a unfamiliar area you can really get stressed by thinking that you can get lost and you will follow your mind and get lost so i would really stay in an area that you are familiar with.If that does not help at least i tried to be a good citizen.holla back at yall lata.

Did you want to quit your job? Or did you want to stay home and be a mom and work part time? That is not a crime and you don't have to be fired for that. If you are happy and that is what you want to do then go for it! Your kids will love you for it! That is rewarding in itself!

why not work part time or read books or help charities?
