So what can you do at home? First, self-development. If you didn’t have time to get a higher education before going on maternity leave, you can safely start finishing your studies. Distance learning or distance learning at home will allow you to get a diploma and a profession without losing a few years.
If you still have a diploma, take your free time to improve your skills. To date, there are many courses, trainings, lectures and seminars. So that, having entered the service after a three-year absence, you do not start all over again, but step up the career ladder with a firm step.
If you categorically do not want to think about work, then, perhaps, you can take your leisure time with the development of new areas of activity. For example, study foreign languages or, after reading a few books, try yourself as a family psychologist.
And if the very thought of working or studying evokes a mortal task, then, you ask, what do you do in your free time?
You can try your hand at creativity. What exactly it will be - depends only on you. It can be drawing, embroidery, knitting, origami, or something completely extravagant - plastic outfits. You can create real masterpieces from improvised materials, such as threads, soap, or, for example, cocktail tubes. You can also create in the kitchen. Then your masterpieces will please not only the eyes, but also the stomachs of relatives. If you have the opportunity to ask someone for an hour or two to look after the child, then this generally makes it possible to organize a real feast and arrange a romantic dinner for your husband. The choice of activities here is completely up to you and is limited only by your imagination.
More things to do at home: try writing your own book. All children love to listen to fairy tales and demand new and new entertaining stories every time. And imagine how delighted your baby will be when he hears a fairy tale about himself from you. Such a story will be very interesting and useful for the child, and you will stop asking yourself the question: “What can I do at home?”
And finally, if you have free time, but there is not so much of it to devote to yourself and your hobby, approach the issue of raising your child creatively. Start painting together. There are also plenty of options for creativity. You can draw with pencils, felt-tip pens or even fingers. Your drawings don't have to be on paper either. You can draw on wood, glass, fabric. And everything else. Embellish home mugs, an old cupboard, orkitchen napkins. The main thing is that the child is not too carried away and does not start drawing on the walls without you.
Start sculpting with plasticine or s alt dough. You can cook together too. Your child will quite cope with the task of creatively laying out cucumbers or sausage on a sandwich, creating an attractive face out of them. Sew soft toys together, create a puppet theater, in a word, have fun and have fun. Thus, even on the rainiest autumn days, you will not have the question: “What can you do at home?”
