I never really thought that I would make comment to you (although, I have wanted too on numerous occasions) Here it is. I would find it hard to believe that this person understands what it means to be a parent. They may have children Hell that's the easy part WAY TOO EASY! Part of the reason I like to peak into your world is because of your JOB! I see the sacrifices that you make every day. Some days you pay for it with your tears, hair, blood and SANITY. However, it's through those days that you earn your pay its in the smiles and love your family gets to enjoy. Parenting is the hardest job in the world and sooo few ever get it right. From the view out here I believe you are doing a better job than most. I will take this chance to leave you with this thought. While your "friends" words upset you they are most likely just ignorant to this and its relevance. Only you can decide if they are worthy of your friendship or not. I was a single parent for a long time and had a roommate. He was always talking how he would never let his kids do this or do that and had pretty much no tolerance for them. Until...He had a child of his own.....He then made a point to tell me he had his head up his A$$ all that time......Keep living.Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00036111307017837891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28240196.post-59866162723033246912011-09-15T20:05:14.969-07:002011-09-15T20:05:14.969-07:00It is work!Valetahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14254020289081639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28240196.post-74205582151360236932011-09-15T13:22:37.509-07:002011-09-15T13:22:37.509-07:00Just...ugh. It takes SO much courage to stay home with kiddos and to say "Yes, this is my JOB, it is WORK!" It's obviously where your heart is, that you love your kids and that this person, this NON-friend, is a moron. Perhaps he needs to spend a day in your shoes. I often think men don't realize the work involved to take care of kids. My husband complained about having to make ONE phone call to take care of something in the household. I asked him if he had any idea how many calls and emails I had to make from work to schedule doc, dentist, get this insurance thing fixed, etc. Not to mention actually TAKING the kids, picking up prescriptions, etc. That's not work? Then what exactly is it?Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07935506162587159008noreply@blogger.com
