Quote From: ckadcockI'm not particularly fond of lazy people. I do, however, find myself getting pretty dang tired of cleaning the same things over and over and over and over until finally, I just lay it down! I'll let it go until I finally get tired of looking at it and then clean it up. I have less than 900 sq. ft. of home for my husband, 2 girls and myself and if anything is out of place, it looks like a mess and since I have a 5 year old and a 10 month old, pretty much everything is out of place. I have started boxing up all of my what-nots, just so I don't have to worry with dusting or cleaning them, since I have all the toys I have to deal with and the car magazines and spit cups, as well. As far as being a "Soccer Mom", NO, I am not one of those. To be able to be a Soccer Mom, you have to have money and most of the time I see alot of those kind of women shopping and most of the time their nails are done and their hair is of the most fashionable cut of that particular season.....Most of the time anyway. I know what I say sounds like I'm lashing out but that is only because I can't enjoy those benefits. I guess his family are comparing me to what they generally see out and about town. I'm kinda wondering if the "slacker mom" isn't depressed. Having quit working when my first was born, I didn't want money to be an issue and it's not, since
he is the one who has the money!! Heck, I've got more problems over here than just this subject!
I can kinda relate to the quote above. I was not brought up as a slacker or lazy however since being married to a husband who misses the dirty clothes hamper everytime and 2 kids following behind daddy, I find myself overwelmed cleaning up after EVERYBODY including the dog and cat. I love for things to be clean but find it hard to keep it that way when I am the onlyone cleaning. I sound like a broken record pick up your clothes, make your bed, put your dishes in the sink blah blah blah. After coming home from work after being out of the house for 12 hours a day all I want to do is feed the kids and put the kids to bed so I can relax. My husband works second shift so during the day instead of cleaning he's watching T.V. or "resting" until he goes to work. I myself feel like all I do in my free time ( whenever that is) is sit down and unwind. I was a stay at home mom for about a year 3 years ago and I loved it I didn't stay in the bed for 18 hours a day but I enjoy doing things at my own pace.
