Can we all give it up for Applespark. Its not easy being a stay at home mom! Please reply to the post and give her the positive feedback she deserves!
I'd like to give it up for both of you! It's not easy being parents, and you two are doing a phenomonal job. You are truly partners in raising your baby, and the love between you is shining through every post you make. You have both stepped up to the plate and taken control of your lives, work your asses off to make it work, and manage to stay sweet and loving. BIG UP!
Three cheers for all the stay at home Moms here, and all the other moms/dads too. Obviously don't have kids myself, but have the utmost respect for those who are perpared to raise their babies and be there for them. A very tough, selfless and noble vocation. Your children will all be very grateful in years to come that you were there for them.
I envy Applespark and all the other stay at home moms so much. I would give anything to stay at home with my little guy. Especially after the day care broke his arm. But we have to eat. So I have to work. For those of you who can make it work, I applaud you. Kathi
LOL i wouldn't say it's hard (staying at home); trying at times, yes, because you never get a moment to yourself for weeks, months, or YEARS at a time, lol, but i think it would be so much harder to try and raise a family while working full-time. The hardest thing is being creative enough to support everyone in a single income (or less, for some), but as far as parenting goes, it's the "easy" way (no trying to guess how to stay consistent with their school or whatever in the way of rules, etc.). Yay for Applespark, cause she's a good mama! And a big yay for all the other parents whose kids are the center of their world
Awww Thank you . "Please reply to the post and give her the positive feedback she deserves!" The only positive feedback I need is from my family here. Seeing my baby giggle and learn and my guy come home relaxed when he can. "I love stay at home moms. But I do think it's fun and kinda easy." I would say staying home is easier then going to work only because I think it would be very hard to leave my child with a stranger and go to work and miss everything. It's not easy to raise a child and have them turn out on top these days. Parenting is hard. Especcialy those of you with multiple kids or single parent home..omg I give YOU the props. That is not easy at all. "oh woohoo for applespark and the stay at home moms!" "I'd like to give it up for both of you! It's not easy being parents, and you two are doing a phenomonal job.

Thank you "Your children will all be very grateful in years to come that you were there for them" Hopefully huh Kathi~I applaud you! No...it's hard some days to stay home. Like days you are sick, throwing up, very tired, or days when your kids are sick or husband is sick...or when the house is a disaster and all you want is to have ti clean so yuou can relax but you just cant keep up cuz you got a kid messing with one thing after another defeating you...or those days when they just whine and cry all day...yeah it's trying but the rewards are so much more then you can imagine. When you have moments with your child that are just between you and you know you gave tehm a good day..thats the best rewards..and higs and kisses.
Oh no you didn't just say that. If you spent a day at my house, you'd be in for a rude awakening. It is anything BUT easy. I go nonstop, all day. You try taking it easy with a 5 year old and 19 month old twins. It is hard work, and not easy by any means, but well worth it because I adore my precious sweethearts and wouldn't want things any other way. But please, your comment is an insult! Grrr...you just really frosted my muffin because I work my butt off everyday taking care of my kids and the house! Peace...
no, it's not always easy and moms don't often get the recognition and credit they deserve. i chose to be on welfare until my daughter was in grade 1 and have no regrets. i was never lazy and wanted to work but those at home years were the some of the most important in her life and i wanted to be there, despite the days i could have easily hurled her off the nearest bridge so, yeah, yay for all of you who do stay at home
being a stay at home mom has been the toughest job i've ever had! trying to clean house during the hours your kids are awake is ridiculious! lol.. then by evening your too pooped to do it but you make yourself anyways... from one stay at home milf to another , you rock!
I'm also a stay at home mom. We have three boys (never a dull moment 'round here). It's a tough job but SO worth it. Sometimes it's hard to make ends meet but we somehow we always manage.
