[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 443072, member: 84"] My Mom never "got" the stay at home mom thing until recent years. She was also single, raising 5 kids, working full time, and out with her social groups when not working. I suppose you can call dating ect social groups. lol Like you, all I ever wanted to be was a Mom. I wanted to stay home and have the time ect to do all the things that we never done for me growing up. So that's what I did. Besides, husband and I figured up what we'd have paid in daycare and it turned out it that I wouldn't have made enough to justify working. I enjoyed staying home. And honestly I did still "work" (yeah like staying home 24/7 isn't work) I ran a daycare for years that brought in extra money. Nichole is like me. And she's now doing the stay at home mom thing, babysitting once in a while to supplement income. easy child has always loved working. She gets so bored staying home all of the time. And I can understand that. (unlike my mom) Only thing I wish is that she'd drop the school thing on top of the full time job......and maybe at least drop to part time until all 3 boys are in school. They're only little once........and in my opinion they really need their mother during those formative years. But that is MY opinion. They're her kids. My kids are not extensions of myself, they are individuals, their own person. They do their own thing and they both do it very well, which is why I'm so proud of them. Tell your Mom that your career choice was as a domestic engineer, and that you totally aced the job. Then let it go. She'll either understand, or not. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
