How do I accept being a stay at home mom?

I’ve been a stay at home mom for over 4 1/2 years, since I got pregnant with my first right after finishing school and getting married. But I still struggle with not feeling like I’m doing something worthwhile. I couldn’t imagine putting my 3 girls in daycare, and all the money I would make working would probably just go towards paying for the daycare. But I feel like I’m not accomplishing anything all day, when all I do is hold my screaming infant and fulfill my toddler and preschooler’s every whim. Even if I do get chores actually done I still feel like I should be doing more but can’t. Does anyone have any advice or encouragement?
