Well the bloom is off the rose. For a mom who's got kids home in summer and a husband with a job that fluxes from 75-90 hour work weeks, I really can only work a 9 mo part time job. And EVEN that needs to be in a limited number given the fatigue factor, I get grumpy. :Tantrum:

 

LIKE STEVE M> SAYS work involving the eyes like reading and working with numbers really uses more energy than we realize....

 

I hate how when you're at work and all you can think of is what you need to remember to do at home! Plus so many things in their job description I hadn't done before and I don't want to trust my memory to people's retirement funds. I have enough trouble keepin on top of my own budget!

No, I need to be here, one frazzled parent at the end of the day is enough. I did not have kids for them to get through the teen years with part time guidance from tird parents- not fair to them..Glad to say I'm home, the real world is still too much for me....I'll hold down our own fort..I really think I'd rather continue to live frugally then watching my income subsidize the dry cleaners and fast and fast food joints... :cheer:

You are giving your kids "quality" parenting - this is very important, and some day, they'll realize it and thank you

 

GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK

Hey Scrappier,

You have some lucky kids! In my book the best reason for a mom to be home with the kids is that she wants to be; end of story. I'd be scared to death to take the job of being home with teenagers. That has got to be way harder than any job I've ever had. I have two older sisters and they are both doing that now. Sometimes I feel like I should go rescue them from their terrible teens.

 

Seriously though wat to go and way to set a great example for the rest of us.
