Hi Erin, My name is Lou. I am mommy to Katie 2 1/2 and Cori almost a year. I have been staying at home since Katie was born. I do get to work a little part time maybe 10 hours a week. My mother comes over to watch the girls.
I was self employed before being a SAHM. So, I was use to working 60 to 80 hours a week. Boy, that has changed. Now I work 24-7. It is hard. Some days(a lot of them Haha) I wish I had that my freedom back. Then I look at my girls and they do something that just makes me laugh and, I remember why I am here. We really do have a good time. I think the hardest thing for me is getting the everyday stuff done and, then feeling like I did have that quality time for the girls. Some days I question if they would be better off at a care facility during the day. But, my husband is good at reassuring me I am in the right place. As far as resenting my husband going to work I have to tell myself if, he was not going to work I could not be here. Believe me I tell myself this a lot. I really miss going to work but, for now I know this is where I need and want to to be. I hope to get to know you, Lou At 04:47 AM 9/14/2004, you wrote: >Hi, my name is Erin and I am an american living in France. I have two >sons 5 and 3 months.
