Working Moms
Quote From: dutchkarinWOW, a full-time working mother and a father who is working 50 hours a week!
Perhaps a strange question but do you have time to prepare dinner and eat together, and what with all the other things at home?
I work 20 hours a week , my husband full-time, and our childern are 15 and 17, don't you have the feeling that you miss a lot from the childern??
I stayed at home untill the kids were in school, and I loved that, I did not want to miss all the things they learned during the first few years.
I want to say that you must very proud that you can manage your family that way, because I could not do that like you!!
greetings from the Netherlands,
Karin
I just have to say every minute I spend with my kids is precious. I feel because my time is limited I don't take any of it for granted. All of my cooking is done with my son. On Sunday evenings we prepare most of the meals for the week. I love that time with him. It also makes it easier during the week. I just pop the meals in the oven. My daughter and I have spent many hours talking about life while doing laundry and cleaning the bathrooms. To my children these don't seem like chores but quality time with mom. I also do fun things with them as well, but I try to use every moment I have. I am very organized and don't have a large home. I see these moms with these huge houses that spend so much time cleaning it. For me I am not home enough. A small home means less cleaning and less money. It also forces us to go outside a lot. It just works for us.
