Now I've finally reached the calm of just enjoying the peace and quiet(though I don't think missing the old days will ever totally go away). Motherhood=masochism? Ha! Or just all the love makes up for all the inconvenience.bfmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13318362737179294737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-68687662694895949152015-01-09T12:15:32.966-06:002015-01-09T12:15:32.966-06:00I envy you the success of your stinky poop strateg...I envy you the success of your stinky poop strategy.Full Spectrum Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460737436704927666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-69464352620973227302015-01-08T17:38:10.756-06:002015-01-08T17:38:10.756-06:00YES!!!

And I have never met a man who actually took responsibility for running the household or fully raising the children. Changing diapers and washing dishes are great, but I've never known a man to buy winter pajamas or make dentist appointments without being asked to..... Because of this, we decided I would stay home and the household would be my focus, while he made the money. I respect women who can somehow do both, but you're kidding yourself if you think hubby is going to co-manage everything with you. Expect to have an extra pair of willing hands, at best.JuniperSunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200070408917287691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-90250870419411300062014-01-20T21:06:04.472-06:002014-01-20T21:06:04.472-06:00I don't do most of these things and I don'...I don't do most of these things and I don't have kids!
