Question for SAHM

It will be hard for SAHM from the start to go back to the career world but it's not impossible. I feel that you can try to update yourself by reading more news so that you will not be 'away' from the rest of your peers. Once your kids is old enough you can arrange for child care then proceed to look for a job. Is all in the mind, do not compare with people around you as long as you are happy with your life.

Hi, it is very normal to feel that way. But it is also a matter of great dedication and pride to be a SAHM. Also, if you feel that you can work now that your kids are old enough , then please explore mums@work and Linked In network for references and leads. You can also reach out to your friends to refer you for suitable jobs. Don't worry much and just give yourself a chance.

Don’t compare, if ur kids are old enough, got people to help with them, like after school care, etc. Go back and work, just go. Make sure work life balance, u will be able to feel balance. Although may start from basic again, but u will feel better working(it’s like a me time from home,kids etc.) .

Dont beat urself up for it.. SAHM has its perks as well.. u get to spend more time with ur LO! If there isnt opportunity to go back to workforce can always try out freelance work or ur own little business
