RE: Sunrise - Part 3 - Blood
That works :)
Do you have both jobs or just switched?
Yes, they should :) I use to work 40 to 50 hours a week when my two oldest were little. Then I had to go home and do all the mommy stuff. It sucked. I hated all that I missed, that is why when I had more we made the decision for me to stay home. Now I am working again and it sucks. I will get into a Rythm again I just have to figure it out :)
I kept them both, I thought it would be hard but since it's just a 2-month thing I could make it work. Of course living with my parents and not having to cook daily (thank god it's mum or my grandma who take care of that) helps a lot! I do the rest like sweeping, mopping, dusting and laundry. But in cases like this, everyone in the family should try and do their part, otherwise it won't work. And I try to say the same to my students: try at least to keep your rooms tidy, because your mom has so much more to take care of.
This scares me I have to say! Having to take care of a little one is not something that takes just 1-2 hours every day, it's a 24/7 commitment. I see women who have left their job for their children; some for good and turned into housewives, others temporarily and when they got back they had too little time for themselves. With good planning though, this could work I believe, it is hard when the children are too young, but not impossible. I'm sure you will work it out! :D
That is awesome. Yes, they should and Eroded and the older kids help but eroded has had a lot of medical issues the last few years so it is not his fault he can't help as much. The older kids have lives and I don't like impede on that so I don't ask for their help much other than playing. My oldest son, that is still at home, is learning to cook, so he has been helping with that. He has always wanted to know and with him leaving home in a few years, he wanted to so I said sure. Now I can't get him out of the kitchen, lol :)
It can work and it is time-consuming but very worth it. I don't mind working it is just trying to find time to do it all properly. The no time for myself, well I am used to that. I haven't had any since I was 19 lol I'm not complaining about the work, just venting on trying to do it all. I use to. I use to homeschool 6 of them, was in college myself with 6 classes, and did all the house stuff. I had an A average and made Dean's list every semester. Kids were always taken care of. They had A's and B's, also. The house and laundry were done. Plus i cooked a lot more. I just need to find that rythm again. I will :)
Thank you for letting me vent and encourging instead of judging :)
Wow! You are one of those Supermoms after all!
Oh! And Happy Mother's Day today!! 💖🌺💐
