Done with being a SAHD

East Bay Dads

If any of you are "Stay At Home Dads" for over a year or so, I'd would like to know how you manged to do so. I have been a SAHD 1 year and 14 months and I don't think I can handle it anymore.  I have been an invisible member of this organization and read up on your whereabouts and I think it's great. However, do any of you know where there is a good support group where guys like us are ready to give up on taking care of their kids and wife. I have a 7 years old daugther and a 3 years old son and a wife who is a workacholic Mon-Fri. and on weekends loves to socialize with her family. I feel totally burned. I just realized this during the whole summer that life is gotta be better than staying at home with your 2 children. Trust me I have been with them for a year or so and I treasure them, love them, and wish that when they grow up that I will be there to see their milestone.

I feel so worthless not working. I keep myself busy by being in a PTO. I really feel burnt out. I searched the internet on SAHD but doesn't help me any some of the support group are located in other states.  I need one locally, one that will understand what I am going through and not the social type of organization (no offense fellas').

PS. I would have joined some of the social functions that you guys have thrown but for some reason I couldn't get myself to attending.
