That precious two year old saying I love you just made the rest of my day!
I like the SAHM Conspiracy article. I have to think about what I say to my FB friends when I see them make comments about wishing they could stay home with their children instead of working full time because I know that they think I am crazy for saying that I can’t wait to go back to work!! I think that staying home is just as mentally and physically exhausting as working full time so sometimes I just don’t know if there is a happy medium!
Couldn’t agree more with your comment!
I’m not sure there is, either. Being a parent (working, working part time, SAH, etc.) is hard no matter how you slice it… But a lot of whether you’re happier one way or another depends on your personality and personal needs, too.
