| I get that all the time! Being a full time mom is more work than any job out of the home I have ever had. NO breaks, no weekend. Atleast my husband gets to take a brake when needed. Ha Ha |

| Sometimes I feel like I'm doing everything for everyone. My poor dog gets the most of it when I'm stressed. I'll be trying to put together a quick lunch for my hungry toddler while my baby fusses to be nursed and I realize I forgot to clear the highchair from breakfast. Then I'll hear my dog whimpering to go out and snap,"Just a minute, Jewel!" The poor thing just has to follow me around whining til I finish what I'm doing. |

Unfortunately with parenting you can't real run out of your responsability, either you work outside or inside the house everybody is waiting for you to make dinner, supervise homework, solve problems and so on.
When you work outside the house, for part of the day you can pretend you have another life unless there is some phone call from home.
Most of the women that work with small children spent a lot of time on the phone to check on their family.
When you stay home, the problem could be social isolation so you have to make sure to make time for adult conversation and some distraction.
There is no relaxing weekend anymore, just always something to deal with...but after all we choose it ...
My grandmother used to say: "you wanted a bike ...now pedal!"

This is so true, we did choose to do this job and it is rewarding. I suffer from adult conversation. I tell you though it is amazing what kind of conversations you can carry out with a three year old.
I was a very young mother, I had my daughter when I was 19. Her father and I split and I stayed with my mother. I had no choice but to work thankfully my brother stayed home at that time and he watched my daughter. I tell you one thing for the first three years of her life I worked full time, mothered full time finally moved out on my own. During that time I prayed that I could just stay home with my little girl. I felt like I missed all the firsts and it just wasn't fair.
Of course we find ourselves complaining no matter what situation we are in. But really staying home is sooo wonderful. |

| My three year old does the same thing! He wants me to play with him all the time, he says it isn't fair that he doesn't have any friends to play with. Therefor it is my job to entertain him. He does have a way with me though I actually feel really bad for him, which is why I am trying so hard to find friends for him. Ha Ha |

| Kids have all the toys in the world and they are bored. My dad used to say "I will give you something to do" then we go play like good children. |

| I wonder why the guys always think that our job is easy. When my husband comes home I need him to play with my daughter just so I get a break. Then at times he says I've worked all day! Then I feel like a bad mom not wanting to be by my daughter. He feels what I do is easy and I should try going to work. I have contemplated going to work and letting him stay home but I just don't think I could do that. I would miss her too much. I have stayed home with her since day one. I do feel lucky to be able to stay home cuz I know some moms don't have a choice but I would like to get out once in a while too. |

Alot of women that I talk to have the same issue of the men be littleling our staying home. Just when I think that my husband undertands he will make some rude comment, like "if you want that type of car go make some money to pay for it". It always makes me so angry because I tell him that hurts me! I want to bring money in, He knows that this is how the plan is but it is almost like he has to up his pride and constanly remind that he does so much. I don't get it.
I don't understand kids either with the playing thing. My kids don't want to go outside. We have a huge yard with a swngset all kinds of toys. They would rather sit and complain how they are bored. Same things when I was a kid my parents had to make me come inside. Go figure? |
