Any Regrets???
Quote From: emajsmomGirls, you know what that sounds like my husband but he learned the hard way.. He was laid off from work and my maternity with our son ended so I went back to work... and he will confess that NO its not easy taking care of a 3 year old and a 1 year old and no you don't get to sleep in and no you don't get to watch soaps all day.. And beleive me he was a very happy man when he got called to go back to work full time, he was only home with them for 2 months but it was a real eye opener for him.. He now realizes why at the end of the day I just get in the van and leave him with the kids and go, not far just go for a drive to get some peace, why i crave adult conversation,.... There is nothing worse than knowing all the words to every theme song from every cartoon... that is me... plus on top of taking care of the kids, the housework, the pets and everyone else's stuff..
IF THEY THINK YOU GOT IT EASY CHALLENGE THEM, ASK THEM TO STAY HOME WITH THEIR KIDS FOR AN ENTIRE WEEKEND.. AND YOU TAKE OFF SOMEPLACE WHERE YOU AREN'T AROUND AND SEE HOW MUCH EASY THEY THINK IT IS AFTER....
ITS CALLED CRASH TEST MOMMY.... SEE HOW GOOD DADDY DOES
Crystal I'm not a mom yet, but I hear so many negative things about parenting and I"m petrified at the thought sometimes. I have days where I think I'm ready then I see message boards like yours and wonder if it's all really REALLY worth the daily hassels that all moms go through and if they had it to do over, would they?? I have imense amounts of respect for all moms and I question myself a lot. I mean, I think: colic, screaming and crying, temper tantrums, sleepless nights, constant worrying, financial strain, no social life, etc. I just hope the pros outweigh the cons. I'm 28 so a part of me is ready to get on the bandwagon but I feel like I need a lot of reassurance first. I work with special education children during the school year for a living and at a daycare during the summers but I can at least send those kids home. People say that your own kids are different and the patience will be there but... I don't know. I could use some insight.
