Thanks for your submission to r/AskWomen.
Did you know that effective July 1st, 2023, Reddit will enact a policy that will make third party reddit apps like Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Boost, and others too expensive to run? On this day, many users will login to find that their primary method for interacting with reddit will simply cease to work unless something changes regarding reddit’s new API usage policy. [More details are in this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/142mrtd/raskwomen_will_be_going_dark_on_june_12_in/).
Concerned users should read and sign on to this [open letter to reddit.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/)

Yes. I love watching my children grow and having a bit looser day schedules. I like that i can enjoy my hobbies and pass my knowledge to my children. Being a mum was always my dream and here i am doing it.
Love staying at home with my son. Unfortunately it’s held against me sometimes. I wouldn’t change it for the world though. I’ve been able to give my son the best start to his life and the bond we share is amazing. I hope we remain close for the rest of my life.
Not really. I feel kind of useless, all those years of hard work in school (university) wasted. I love my kids to pieces but I feel a bit dumbed down right now.
I am extremely happy. I always wanted this life, I never craved a career or the 9-5 life. I love that we have no set schedule and can decide on a whim what we want to do that day. I can totally see how it would be hell for some women, but for me it’s perfect.
Yea and no. I loved being able to spend time with my kids and take them out to do fun things almost every day (zoo, splash pads, library sing alongside…), but I missed being an ‘adult-adult’ with adult interactions. Mom groups were good, but we always talked about kid stuff. I was able to volunteer in the schools and be there for more of the day-to-day ups and downs. But, somehow, my SAHM-ness translated to stay at home maid and perma-parent, and that impacted the marital relationship hardcore!
