Is anyone here a stay at home mum?

I've been considering taking no-pay leave to take care of my baby (8.5 months old) because going to work just makes me so miserable. For context, my job allows me to take no-pay leave until my child is 4 years old. Is anyone here at SAHM? Can anyone share your honest experiences with me so that I can mentally prepare myself? Thank you and I think SAHM mums are wonderful (my mum is a SAHM ☺️).

I worked for around 14 years and left my job after my daughter was born. It has been 2.5 yrs and I have been enjoying each moment. Sometimes you feel too exhausted, want to be left alone. But as soon as u see those tiny twinkling eyes and cute smile you forget everything 🙂 I personally never wanted anybody else taking care of my kid. They learn everything from you, every action every habit. I have witnessed all milestones first giggle, first crawl, first walk which i wouldn’t have if I had continued working. Eventually its a personal choice. And If you have husband’s support then it will be a lot easier.
