SAHM's

i dont know how women do it.... i have so much respect for any woman who stays home with their child(ren) now.... it has been STRESSFUL to say the least being a SAHM these past couple months.

Re: SAHM's

I don't know first hand how stressful it is but I can only assume it is pretty rewarding -- even when you think you can't handle one more episode of Sesame Street!

Re: SAHM's

yes thats true, the rewards outweigh anything else... but man, anyone who ever said this is not a job in itself was WAY wrong.

Re: SAHM's

Try and remember to make some time for yourself. I watch my sister and sometimes she forgets to do that. So I try and take her somewhere even if it is after the girls are asleep and only for an hour or two. Someplace that she has to shower and get dressed and put some make-up on just so she remembers that she is not just a mom.

Date night is a good idea. Even if it just to the diner -- just some alone adult time.
