Good Morning all,
This week has gone so fast. I don't even remember half of what I did except when it was beautiful I was outside with the kids after school and after dinner. I really enjoy being outside with my neighbors and their kids it is a peaceful time and hectic at times. But I get to be out with adults and talking to someone that is my age and is going through the same issues I am. For example your child is being stubborn and throwing a tantrum because they are not getting their way, you stick to your guns and they slowly get over it. But then one of your friends is outside with you and their child throws a tantrum and does the same thing your child did a few minutes ago and you realize gosh my child is not the only one that does this and my friend goes through the same thing I go through. We deal with it most of the time the same and sometimes differently and sometimes it is a learning experience on my part seeing another way of dealing with my child and seeing if another way would work out better next time my child does her melt down or tantrum.
We need to stick together as mothers and always be open for advice because this is the only support we can get that is accurate because the other mother is going through the same thing we are. Lets face it raising a child is the hardest thing to do on earth and when we do it full time 24/7 it is hard because it is constantly you. No one else takes care of them during the day you are always the one there.
But on the other hand working mothers have it just as hard but on the other side of it. You have to get up and get them out the door. Then you drop them of at the sitter or day care and only hope they don't give you a hard going in so you can get to work on time and not feel guilty dropping them off. After that you work a hard job all day you go pick up the kids and you start the rest of the of your day doing all the mommy stuff and sometimes it last all the way through the middle of night if you have an infant or if you have a sick child or a stubborn child that feels that your bed is their bed. Either way we all do a great job! Sometimes it does not feel like it but we do our best!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday I will be back tomorrow.
Love your blog! As a new mommy it's good to hear what I have to look forward to. I stayed home for 10 weeks with my newborn and have been at work for only 1 1/2 weeks and I can tell you that it is tough both ways. We have to stick together and lend each other support. Believe me, knowing that I am not the only one out there with certain problems really does help. Thanks!
