You are a great mom but need more time off.LOL

i was a single working mom, i had to work 8 hour days somewhere too, and do the laundry, cook, give baths play taxi, clean, help with homework, coach ball, make pinewood derby cars, .........working moms do the same thing, only without the taking the kids to a sitter, packing their things for the day,getting up an hour earlier to get the kids up and dressed. going outta the way to pick them back up to go home. i was a stay at home mom when i watched my niece for about a year, and i would have done anything to do that again and not have to go out and work. and for seven years, i watched the kids during the day and worked evenings so i wouldent have to get a sitter, that really sucked.

Sorry Rosie didn't mean to step on toes. I work with alot of single moms. My husband also traveled for most of our marriage, he was gone for 6-8 weeks at a time. So I was kinda a single mom too there for awile, I also worked full time and went to school. I apoligize.

Count me in lilrascal!!

oh no, ya dident step on my toes, i was just saying it was a heck of a lot easier to stay at home with the kids when they were small, then to go to work and drag them out in the cold mornings to daycare, and have to do all the work at home too... i would have loved to stay home, only got to exsperiance it for only one year.

when i opened this blog, i thought it was about alaskan crab fishing, the toughest job in the world........those guys get payed about 50,000 in two weeks and then wait for next year, but the % of not coming home is about 50 % too.... no way, i'll take stay home mom over that anyday.. i would pick stay home mom over 1000's of jobs...idk, i had fun in the summer, went to the pool almost every day, went to the zoo, grants farm, did some fun stuff, and in winter, i dident even get dressed outta my nightie most of the time, but i only had three kids to watch.. idk, i loved it, i thought it was the easiest job in the world, sorry, idk

your welcome, iluv......my mother was a stay home mom, and had 8 kids in 10 years, twins at 41 and another one after that, my mom and dad got married when she was 33 and my dad was 45, we were kinda a generation behind... heck i dident even know that ya got presents on christmas till i was in 4th grade, heard it from classmates, never went trick or treating till i was in 7th grade, with a friend... now that was a hard stay a home mom job, heck i was doing it when i was 6, washing in a ringer washer on the cold porch, hanging wash outside for 10 people, cloth diapers, and i had to rinse them in the toilet if they were poopie, and cutting wood, only sorce of heat, and none upstairs in our room, and butchering, ahhhhhhhhhh.... well, i can go on and on and make it sound like i'am really 65 instead of 51 but been there done that long before i was a mom, lol, yeah when i accually was a stay home mom for my kids, i had a ball.

ha...... It surely ain't easy being home all day long with kids. Some days they are gold some days I wanna runaway....lol....some days I tell hubby they are all his........ lol....

lilmomma, I agree with you on that one. LOL When my husband is off work....the kids are his. LOL Thank God for year round school. My oldest just started kindegarten this past Thursday. Now I have my 2 year old and my 7 month old at home. Pretty soon the 2 year old will be starting his speech therapy which is probably going to be 3 x a week for 4 hours.....

I think the most favorite time of my life was when I stayed home with kids. I loved it from morning to night. Then I was lucky enough to have grandkids. (which my daughter in law loved). When she needed a break, she just called me. I would love to take them for a weekend. Now they are driving. And I sure miss those days.
