Googlers sure have a sense of humor or they are on Crack or looking at crack when they are typing. Dang plumbers

what will a stun gun do to the testicles

Um…. yeah, ok!

I agree with you completely Sarah and couldn’t have said it better myself. Yes it’s stressful and sometimes downright can drive you to the brink of insanity, but worth it all the way! My babies mean the world to me as I’m sure they do to most other mom’s. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices but it’s so worth it. I try to remind myself of that everyday instead of getting caught up in the stress of trying to do laundry, cook, clean, change diapers, feed, clean more, etc. Sometimes you have to just take a few minutes, say forget everything else and slow down to ENJOY your little miracles. Before you know it, they are grown and independent and moving on to make a life for themselves.
So is it all its cracked up to be??? HECK YES!!!!!

I don’t know if someone came up with that themselves or what, but whenever I feel stressed about the life that I’ve chosen and been called to, I try to remember that.
It’s the parents who should shape their children don’t you think? And I’m so grateful that I have figured out the ’secret to success’ of being at home and not going crazy. lol.

I really think you have to see your worth as it is in the long run.
Sure, right now I’m up to my eyeballs in whiny toddlers/preschoolers. I have been changing diapers for 10 years. I was pregnant for 3 years in a row. But I know that all too soon these times are going to be GONE and I don’t want to have any regrets about what I wish’d I’d done if only I would’ve complained less about having more “me” time, or having the chance to get out away from the kids, or even, just leave me alone for 10 minutes you guys!
I’m not saying any of those things are wrong either. I just don’t want to expect so much free time right now that I look back wistfully and dream of what kind of legacy I could’ve left them if I had spent more time nurturing them than trying to get away from them.

So, SAHM all it’s cracked up to be? It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. For me, yes♥. lol.

Yes and no. For me it requires a lot of sacrifice and it’s hard not to resent that sometimes. Especially when my kid knocks me in the head with the heel of a very stylish shoe that I haven’t had occasion to wear since she was born.
But usually it’s great and I know she appreciates it…somewhere deep, deep inside. It’s what I always wished for when I was a kid so I know the value in having a parent around full-time.

Jen,,,you took the words right out of my mouth. I would not want to have to leave the house and never be here for my kids but there are those days…:)
