We ARE lucky but that doesn't mean it's perfect all the time. Who feels they have the right to complain when most find you "lucky"?<BR/><BR/>#2 Some people think that "just" staying home isn't enough.

I do ...I have to say that I too love being a SAHM. I do have 2 in home jobs that gets me out yet I am accountable to no one but myself. Also the huge key is like Cheri said we are getting together 1 day a week with a couple of friends and can have adult conversation and have our therapy time. That for me has been the best!!!<BR/><BR/>I will be honest and say I for one do not want to go back out in Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273646734317985224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31521794.post-1159577513523461782006-09-29T19:51:00.000-05:002006-09-29T19:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for reading my blog and leaving a comment. ...Thanks for reading my blog and leaving a comment. You are my first comment on my Blog. Thank you so much for looking. I still have not figured out how to do links. I would love to link to the Works for Me Wed.

I've heard both. I agree with Laura - the grass is always greener. I know when my kids were younger I felt like I missed things because I was going to work although it was only 2 nights a week back then. (I also know there were times I was glad to go so I know what you mean!)

M...I didn't know that people didn't talk about it. Maybe that's because I'm not a mom yet and I don't stay at home. But the grass is always greener too, because I dream all the time about getting to stay home because getting up at 5:30 to go to a place you hate for 9 1/2 hours fives days a week is no picnic either.

I could not have read this at a better time. I had a horrible morning with the kids. One was crying that she had nothing to wear and she looked stupid. This continued all the way to the bus stop. She was beside her self. I even emailed the teacher to give her a heads up. I can see how people can get down and depressed sometimes as a Jennifer (mom of four)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04910678841818756856noreply@blogger.com
