Hmmmm...... seems to me like a lot of men in this thread need to come spend a week with my children - a 12 year old girl who creates an army's worth of laundry and consumes an army's worth of food, a 3 year old boy and a 1.5 year old girl who are both big on sibling abuse, general household demolition, and numerous daily scientific "what if..." experiments. Add that to gymnastics lessons for the 3 year old and the 12 year old, 2 basketball games per week, 2 practices per week, music lessons, church, and starting in a couple of weeks, children's symphony on the weekends (my 12 year old plays the violin and the flute) and I don't get much time to watch tv and eat bonbons. I am enjoying every minute of my children while they are young, so although I am busy doing something from 6 am to 11 pm, I wouldn't choose for things to be any other way.
I do work occasionally outside of this home, but nothing like what I do inside it. When I come back home after a job, my husband is always happy to see me......
