Being Mom

"It sounds old-fashioned but I think, when you're someone like Jamie, you need a wife like me. I'm in the background, making sure that the kids are in bed and everyone's happy. There's nothing I'd rather do," she said.

it's not easy being a full time mom too!

im too impatient to ever become one. I will go crazy before the kids! :)
so well done on being a fantastic full time mom. it's a "job" too, in a way.. :)

[balletpumps]

Thanks babe! Definitely a job. But an easier one now cause my boys are a lot older and much more independent. =) Hey! Hope your hubs is feeling better.

i really do wonder how you balance it all!
i don't get any me-time, unless it's during my lunch hour.
and forget about couple-time...

sigh!

Babes, I wonder how you manage too, without MrA around most of the time. =) It takes a lot of strength to do what you do.

I'd find that couple time gets easier when they get older cause looking back at my old blog entries, we were around the kids a lot when they were younger too.

I like your positivity! I know it's not easy looking after the kids and running the household on your own most of the time!

Thanks Debs! I'm blessed to have my help too, so that I can break away for a lil. I'd find that as the kids get older, it's a lot easier to get away from them for a few hours. =)

i admire you for being a full-time mum babe! its no joke being one and you are doing it well! atta girl! :)

I guess it's an easier pill to swallow when they are your own kids. Esp when my parents are still working. =)

i have nothing but the utmost respect for full-time mothers. i always marveled at how you can manage it all. while i have entertained the thought several times, i have never mustered the courage to take that leap.

I'd didn't think that I could do it in the beginning and at times, I did struggle with the idea. Especially when I have a really bad day with misbehaving kids. But you tend to balance the good with the bad. Overall, it has been a pretty positive experience.

But I'd always believe you should do what you are comfortable with. It's definitely ok to be a working mom! Kids are strong enough to know that their mom needs to be away during the day. =)
