Hi Erin, Welcome! I too have been challenged staying home with the kids for the last 4 and a half yrs. It has no doubt been the hardest job ever! I have 3 boys~ ages 9, almost 6(2 1week) and a 3 and half year old that sucks the life out of me. They all went back to school yesterday and I was jumping for joy!! this sounds horrible but I was going out of my mind. I have 3 very highly spirited boys. I have come to the conclusion that parents/moms that work outside of the home have the luxury and the gift of appreciating their chidren more and for me, I speak only for myself because In the past some readers get so offended and there is no need.. But I feel the I have no life other then of my kids, what difines me is driving then to and from school be it music,martial arts and art class. There is no end to it and it's taken for granted. I am going to start looking for a part time job so I can have some adult interaction and stimulation of the mind :) I also notice with myself~ that being home all day has made it harder to keep the house clean! I have lost all organizational skills.. I look back and would never believe that I was a store manager for a huge cosmetics chain in New York and have always had mgr positions or adminstrative in the office.. I feel like I have lost a big chunk of my self and must start a journey to bring some of me back:) so How you do it is the best we can right?? I just think some moms got it easier and it really depends on what type of kids they have.. Great hearing from the other side of the world..! Caroline
