OK, I am not a sahm (single mama here), so I hope you don't mind my coming over to your forum. :) However, I truly support the concept of staying at home, and if I ever get married and am blassed to have another child, I would like to be able to stay at home for a while (had to go back to w...
Is he supportive of you being a SAHM?...
I put "routine" in quotes because I know with kids how much that can change on any given day. Could you please give a blow-by-blow of your typical day? Thanks!...
How do you manage the children when you have a doctor or dentist or haircut appointment? My dh works from 8 to 6 (at least) M-F. So, basically he's at works while any doctors office is open. There are times when I can find my FIL or BIL available to watch the boys for me, but those occas...
I'm interested in hearing from other sahm's in my age group (I'm not trying to discriminate or imply that over 27 is old or anything like that -lol). In my area there are not any other sahm's that are my age. I know a few mamas in their 20's but for the most part it seem...
Just wondering if there are any young SAHM. Its hard being a SAHM when all your friends are young and still wondering when they'll be going to the mall next. it seems like all of a sudden your "off limits" because you have a baby, i tend to find that its easier to get along with mamas outsi...
LAst week was bad bad bad. Both of us were sick and it seemed in shifts. There is this nasty nasty flu bug going around. DH and I who NEVER get sick got it. DD2 Maggie had it (it seems) the week before and then we got the following week. Of course she was up until 3am one night so we were too wh...
Your daughter tries to stand up to pee.:lol :lol She insists that she can stand up. She also thinks she has a penis. I tell her daily that she has a vagina and she will say no its a penis.:lol :loveeyes: What a sweetie...
employment?I just had the idea that from now on I'll write: not in gainful employment :lol Is that too silly?...
It is 5am where I live and I am about to go in to work and QUIT!! I was only back in the workforce for about 3 weeks after a 3 year leave, but it gave me some good perspective about the advantages of being a SAHM. It also gave me some good perspective about the advantages of being a WOHM. I...
This is a semi spinoff from the Culture thread in TAO. I have wondering about how to get moms and kids, or just kids, together in our hood. I can't think of a way to do it. I'm such an uptight person, I don't think I could approach anyone face to face. I considered a letter or an...
Not sure if this is the right forum, but I need a little advice on friends coming over to our house to play.Today a friend of ours and her 3 children met us at the park and asked us what we were doing this afternoon. They are moving really unexpectedly, and quickly and have to prep their house f...
I guess I should start with a confession. I have fallen into the TV Trap. :shake I have an 18 month old wonderful daughter, and a lot of the time I just don't know what to DO with ourselves all day. We live in South Texas, so right now it's really only feasible to play outside in th...
I've been home for 3 years now. My company went bankrupt while I was pregnant with DD.Anyway... I think my husband just inadvertantly called me while he was in the midst of a conversation with someone at work. I think part of what I caught was, "blah, blah, independent number sequence...b...
I've been home just under two years. Ever since my DS was born. I left a VERY physically and emotionally demanding career. I loved what I did, but the boloney made it horrible. AND I couldn't imagine being anywhere but with my dear children. Meanwhile my husband has been blessed enough...
