Pregnancy Info HOME

I stay at home with my children also, and like you, many people tend to think I have nothing to do but coo at cute kids. I have a 17 month old son and a 3 month old daughter, and although they are adorable it's a lot of work! Just keeping up with them and their needs is a full day let alone the cooking, cleaning, LAUNDRY, errands...but it's so worth it. Honestly, you may just need to remind those making comments that you DO have a very demanding job and that while it's ok to visit some, your family responsibilities come first. Establish your boundaries and enforce them and it'll be much smoother! I know it's frustrating, but just put your foot down and say "no" and know that you're making a great decision for your son (being SAHM). Even if he can't verbalize it, your son loves knowing Mommy is there with him throughout the day. Good job on making, what is for some, a difficult decision to stay at home! Hope all works out. :)
