Just wanted to say that I TOTALLY understand your post here-- my little ones are 7, almost 2, and 3 months old-- and things are always a shambles in my home!! We'll get through it. I think it helps to hear that others are in the same poopy-diaper-overload, dinner-dishes-on-the-kitchen-counter-way-too-long, trying-to-do-it-all situations. We need to keep each other sane!morninglight mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-11531252642948147422008-02-23T03:03:00.000-06:002008-02-23T03:03:00.000-06:00No I can't. You have to remember that people grow up with lots of lifestyles and it's not how tidy their home is or who is in it, it's about how they are loved and card for. <BR/>My two have been very lucky to have two excellent childminders. Both are independant and happy to play with others, are intelligent and willing to try new things. They have had holidays abroad and lots of toys. <BR/><BR/>I too have had doubts about working, but now I realise that it was right for me and my family. I have made more effort to be there at school events for my second than I did for my first, and leave the housework longer now.<BR/><BR/>I would have gone mad being at home all day. I have friends who stay at home, have untidier houses than me and always seem to be unorganised and in chaos. I juggle more jobs and get everything done when it should be.<BR/><BR/>We are all different, don't compare yourself and don't listen to people who tell you you are a bad mom for working. We moms all struggle to do what we have to do -however we do it!<BR/><BR/>See my blog for a surprise!Tismee2http://www.blogger.com/profile/18106355662727253470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-31687574062312785212008-02-23T02:48:00.000-06:002008-02-23T02:48:00.000-06:00Happy belated Birthday 'Big Boy'.<BR/><BR/>Don't be hard on yourself. I have always worked full time and my two boys have lots of qualities learnt from other people they wouldn't have been with had I not.<BR/><BR/>Going to see if I can e-mail you.<BR/><BR/>GailTismee2http://www.blogger.com/profile/18106355662727253470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-13564863822338503972008-02-21T17:46:00.000-06:002008-02-21T17:46:00.000-06:00Happy Birthday to your baby!!!!<BR/><BR/>Nice post! <BR/>He's adorable...but you already knew that. :)Melisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252498482861679154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-42232002255474418862008-02-21T10:21:00.000-06:002008-02-21T10:21:00.000-06:00Awwww!
