Stay-at-home mom (Daily blog post)
I think one of the biggest
complaints I have about being a stay-at-home mom is some people seem to think it’s
so nice to not work, and stay home.
Yes, I do have the perks of not having an actual “job title”, or being
somewhere to clock in, but it’s not all “gravy” like some think. Sometimes I
find myself thinking “do you know how much child care would be, if they did
everything I do”. Truthfully, I love
spending this time at home with my girls while there still little, but I do get
a little frustrated when I hear the “oh. You don’t work, that must be so easy
for you”. I think my biggest challenge is trying to
work on being a full time student in between: car pool, cooking, cleaning,
keeping a two year old busy, and so many other things that’s involved that add
up. It keeps you pretty busy, you begin
to wonder if there’s enough hours in a day.
I’m very thankful to be able to spend this one-on-one time with my
girls, and soaking in all the special little moments. Being a stay-at-home mom has more perks/
rewards then anything. I love being invold
with my daughter’s 1st grade class, and being the one teaching my 2
year old basic skills. I’m not looking forward to the day I finish
school, to go back into the career world, and have to get back into the routine
of childcare/ having to scheduled everything around work. The days I find myself frustrated because nothing
is getting done right or my girls are just not behaving, I find myself thinking
“you’re going to miss this soon enough”! I probably make mistakes on a daily, or don’t
get accomplished what Id like to, but I love each day I spend with my
girls. I feel very blessed/privilege to
be at home with my girls right now, because I know of so many mom’s that would
love to do the same.
