Don't get me wrong - I love staying home with my 3 kids and even when I was getting my MBA I always knew I would eventually have children and want to stay home to raise them - but let me tell you this is the hardest job I have ever had in my entire life! I love this job more than any other but it is by no means a picnic like my husband and working friends act - honestly I am sick and tired of people telliong me how lucky I am to stay home - as if I sleep late every day and watch TV and then go to the beach - I am lucky to be able to have to opportunity to be a stay at home Mom, and I know there are many who wish they could but for all the others out there this is no vacation!! OK just had to vent...anyone else feel the same?????
