  • Hey, it's Mayim, and now that The Big Bang Theory is behind me, I'm finding out what it's like to be a stay-at-home mom again with my two boys. And boy...is it different. I'm sure lots of parents will be able to relate to this feeling in different ways, so I'd love to hear some advice, or even just words of comfort, from you all about how to navigate this time of growing up and growing away.

    I am not a mom, but a nineteen-year-old who can tell you that despite your kids growing older, start to slowly grow apart, becoming more independent and figuring out who they are, you won't get less important to them. It may seem like it since they learned to watch over themselves and can maneuver most situations without your help. But where they are now, where they stand, this is all thanks to you and they will never forget that. And you will always be their mother and they will love you just as much as they used to before.

      Ieasha Woods toddlers are the best:) curious little creatures that sometimes test you to your very core. Then you watch them sleep and your heart just explodes. Every stage is precious, it’s all learning and changing and accepting you are going to make mistakes. But one day as tough as the toddler stage is you will miss it. You’ll miss everything about it, especially knowing it’s never coming back... but then you look at your amazing child and how they grew into this amazing person and your heart explodes... just like when you used to watch them sleep.
      My children are now 19 and 21... it really is true, it goes by in a blink if the eye.... but I remember those long toddler days. They can be challenging but just remember you might be one temper tantrum away from ever having another one, one bed time story away from the last.. one potty accident from never buying diapers or pull ups again... there will be lots of lasts... but still many first. Enjoy the ride:)

      I would mention that I am not sure that the whole TV thing made much of a difference. My eldest turned from a little girl who saw the world through my eyes into a teenager who basically wants me away from her and her friends because she is building a world of her own, in like six months. I knew it was coming, and I know that it is good because it means she is growing properly, but boy it is hard. I thought that it would be gradual and it was definitely not. Anyway, what I meant is that this development would probably have blindsided her even staying at home.

      I think it’s a common expression. I heard it on a local radio station years ago. When I heard it, I just thought that truer words were never spoken. When a child is upset or sick or won’t sleep, 24 hours seems like a lifetime. I look at my eldest and can remember every detail of carrying him in my arms. Where his head rested, how he weighed next to nothing, his new baby smell, I can hear all his types of crying from fussy to hungry to in pain, and then realize that he’ll be 17 in two months.

    I raised four and in the early years dreaded the sound of “mommy” being screamed non stop. Even in stores, I was trained to turn my head to any call from a small child saying “mommy”. My pockets or bags always held tissues, new or used. I had snacks stashed in the car or pocketbooks just in case someone was having a meltdown. This changed to potty training, driving to sport activities, to boyfriends houses, off to school.....I didn’t have the empty nest syndrome when they began to leave, because , honestly, I had a few more still at home. I realized that I made all of my mistakes with trial and error on my first born, but got much better by number four. They all survived me and have gone on to good careers and move out of the house and into their own with their new family. My house has become quieter, which I love, and cleaner, which I love even more. Now the next part is my grandkids who are quickly filling up the void left when my gang moved out. It’s just a circle and I have found that any stage I am in at the moment seems to always be the best ( although being a grandma really is fabulous! ) .

    The success of a good parent is when your kids can go off and be a successful adults with good morals, values, and relationships. You’re always going to be needed and wanted no matter what. You’re always going to be mom. That relationship however will change and evolve in many ways. Who you are to them shouldn’t.

    Mayim, being a stay-at-home mom is a wonderful thing to be. I am positive you're going to find new ways to bond with your children as time goes on. One very important aspect I saw in your video was the real love you have for your children. Hold onto the hugs as long and as often as you can and build precious memories that can sustain you when they are grown and leave home. "LAK - Life After Kids" is great too, but I would gladly trade it all for a good hug from my boys at nighttime.
    p.s. I enjoyed and appreciated the joy you gave me as "Amy".

My best friend gave his best friend A hug in a store one time and she got fired because Boss thought she was doing something sexual... She took that place to court but she lost because she was socializing during work hours but really she only had 5 minutes left... And on her record 8 says she was fired for sexual harassment by giving somebody a hug... And it's still on her record to day we gotta be careful you never know who's watching who's taking pictures or what somebody will say..

      Melissa H it makes me so happy when I see or hear of a child who is setting boundaries, because it’s a sign of a healthy home. A child that will just accept to have their hair ruffled etc that’s a child I worry about because all humans if it’s a healthy home will get to the point where they ask the person to stop to ruffle their hair. I love to hear that her children are comfortable telling her ”no” when she asks them if they wish to play board-games. A safe child is aware of their right to set boundaries in big and small ways.💛

I remember when my son needed me ALL THE TIME. He never liked me out of his line of sight. Hugs and cuddles came freely w/o eye rolls and sighs. Soon he'll be out on his own and living his life. When I look at him, I can't help but to be proud of the man he's become/becoming. You still have many years before this happens, so enjoy every moment.

I had the same high demands towards myself and was an equally close mother to my son, and now I experience that he foesn‘t need me as much. He still does need me, but in a different way. And inside I celebrate each voluntarily given hug and „I love you mom“. Those things are getting rarer and more precious.

I loved my kids band made sure they knew it but I gotta say, grandkids are the best. If you can hang on through the tough parenting years and they can be the hardest times you can imagine and the best as well. But if you can hang on through the toddler tantrums, the school years, the dating heartbreaks, weddings.....the you get the reward. Grandchildren. All the love, all the fun, all the play, but not the all encompassing, overwhelming responsibility. You young moms hang on, don’t be discouraged. I made every mistake possible raising my kids but kids are resilient. And I’m having a ball with my grands. Each one different, each one special, each one loving and affectionate. It’s a great life and a wonderful gift to have kids.

      Don't forget to sit down with actual books and read to your toddler. It is great bonding cuddle time and by simply pointing your finger on the words you read, you teach him to read too. I accidentally taught my daughter to read this way. By two y.o. she was reading package labels and road signs.

However, having seen your consistently amazing performance in the role of Amy Farah Fowler in TBBT I became a mid-life fan-boi. Your channel is welcome in these turbulent times. You're real. You're open. I welcome you into my home/life/consciousness openly. All the women with whom I have lifetime friendships found their way to be both working & stay-at-home mothers. From the blossoming (sorry) at the time internet to professional therapists, they each found a way to work from home so they could be present for their children. While you were not necessarily 'at-home' with them, you have been able to keep your priorities in line and make your children the focus. You prefer to be a 'regular' parent who works to support her family and have that need to be a fully realized individual, but you are an amazing mother. Thank you for setting a standard for this generation. You are an amazing woman. It would be an incredible pleasure to be in your circle because I'm sure you are also an amazing friend.

    This video was so moving, idk if anyone else felt the same, but I could feel the pain and struggle that you are expereincing rn. I am sure I cherish my 1yo more now, cause I know his dependence will not last forever and it will be difficult to let go. Thank you, for this feeling. Lots of love💓
