| Hi, I have a teenage daughter and a 2 year old dauther. I just don't feel like I'm spending time with either of them. Most days I wish I could stay home and be there more for them both because their lives right now are so different. Can understand where I'm coming from? |

I'm so sorry you are going though this Sherry...you are so right because they are only little for such a short time...and we need to spend as much time as possible to develope the relationships with them as we can...I have the priviledge to get to stay at home with my children, while supplementing some of our income as well, without ever having to leave my home. My husband is a carpenter, but also a part time student...so things can get tight financially. I hope this may encourage you a little.

Hi Hayley,
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am so happy to hear that you are home with your children. That is such a blessing. My children are so beautiful though - They show me so much love and at the end of the day I remember that most of all. I am looking into supplementing our income too - But I want to be able to do it from home. |

| Sher'Ree the most important thing for your children is LOVE. Just make sure that you give them your LOVE. My mother was a full time and only parent in the home. I always remember her LOVE. The time you spend with them just cherish every moment. They will later understand that you had to work to support them working full time and that the moments that you did have were full of laughter, love and family! |

| Sher'Ree, I can so relate to what you are going through. I also work full time and I miss my daughter so much. I took two days off this week and it made me realize even more how much I want to be home with her instead of working. Everyone says it is the quality of time you spend with them, not the quantity, but I know it is hard to believe that when you miss you children and feel guilty. Being a mom is the best and hardest thing I have ever done. There is no way to ever understand what these situations will be like until you are there. You are doing the best you can and even if your girls don't understand now, one day they will. |

| I so appreciate all of you. God led me to this site because I really needed to hear from other moms. I am so thankful that you've all responded to me. It get sort of lonely for me out here because I've just moved here and I don't know too many women with the same type of values and responsibilities as myself. I truly Thank all of you for your support! |
