I'm all three right now and my days at home are the hardest. It's not so much the physical effort required (chasing toddlers, cleaning, cleaning and cleaning), but the emotional. Dealing with whining, crying, fit after fit, breaking up fights, taking advantage of "teaching" moments... it is exhausting. <br />I long DGMommyhttp://www.dgmommy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120685301182906863.post-19127003112017370002012-01-14T20:53:14.627-05:002012-01-14T20:53:14.627-05:00hey Leslie,

I didn't miss one single first, but I still get out of the house on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and work. I LOVE work because it's where I do what I do best and I do it with other adults. No one whining and fussing, but I love being home all week too.

We all make choices I can't speak for working Mom's while I would not choose to go out and work and don't necessarily understand why they would choose work over staying home I can at least respect that, that is what they have chosen.

Well, I actually think that moms that say such degrading things about stay at home moms probably do so to alleviate some deep seeded guilt about not being there - which is sad.

You sound like me, on a good day :) I am a working mom, and let me tell you, I give all the credit in the world to SAHMs. I could NEVER do it. I went back to work 4 weeks after having my baby girl. I lost my mind being home after 2 days actually. There are pros and cons to both situations. Following you from Vb!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235377584505097958noreply@blogger.com
