Bath regarding the SAHM issue.I'm sorry you feel that way about being a SAHM. I've been a SAHM mum for 11 yrs and I find every minute with my children is a blessing.I have always found time when the children were in front of the TV, to do housework, or any paperwork. The past 14 months has been hard for me because I have been in the van but I always have at least 1-2 hours to do "van"work and that includes running up the house to do a couple of loads of washing. It's really only now that I feel I can cope with managing my family and working for a couple of hours(even if it is only with "alpacas" (believe it or not a lot of ppl like me talking about them) I may not get paid but I work bloody hard!)If I had my choice and DH could work, then I would be a SAHM forever or until Pat finished school. Being a SAHM to me, is not a boring monotonous thing, it is an enriching job that fills you with joy. Bella started talking....I mean really chatting, in the past few weeks and if I was out working then I would have missed her saying 'pocket' and that she had an'itchy ouchie!'
I'm not arguing with the fact that you may be over it but I'm pointing out the benefits of being a SAHM that I have seen...I'm sorry if ppl don't see it my way but I'm not attacking anyone just showing everyone my view.
