Hello ladies how is everyone today? Right now I am a SAHM. But before I had my second child I was a working mom. I think they are both very difficult. When you are a working mom it is a constant struggle. I agree with you ladies!! It is so hard to work 40+ hrs a week, clean your house, take care of your kids husband, grocery shopping, cooking, and so on... And at the end of the day you are wondering if what you are doing is enough. Not to mention daycare costs. I am very stir crazy and I love interaction with other people that are above the age of 2. hehe!! But that is not an option for our situation. I have no great education so if I was to go out and get a job than I would be working just to pay for daycare. But please ladies!! Dont think that I just sit on my butt all day. The first month of being a SAHM you probably could of found me sitting on the couch. But after a month I got really bored. And my kid was becoming a couch potato!! hehe!! So I decided to turn off the T.V. So during the day I try not to turn it on to much. Being a SAHM is very hard. I think I clean my house 20 times a day. I never get a break from my kids. Sometimes I wish I were working so I could have a break. I do laundry all the time. my dishes are endless. I am always washing bottles. So if you think about it your kids are at daycare all day your house will not get so messy and you wont have so many dishes. But I bet all of laundry is all the same. Im sure we all have piles of it. And right when we get it done someone makes a mess and starts a new pile. hehe!!

Ladies I do love being a SAHM. I also loved being a working mom. I think we all work very hard to raise our children/husbands!! hehe!! I think we should appreciate eachother!! I truley do respect you. Please respect me also!!
