I think that it is wonderful that some of you know that you are not the “parenting type” and won’t be having children.
I understand that everyone has a different definition of a good parent. But the day we found out we were pregnant was the day that I put “ME” on the back burner. I quit my job and became mom. I will return to work one day…maybe part-time. But until my children are out of my house my “career” is to raise kind, considerate and healthy children. Am I bored, who has time with 2 kids?
My personal opinion, which I know will not set well with this board is…I think that most people who work full-time when they have children are selfish. God-forbid you have to change your lifestyle or can’t do what you want..why did you have kids? And for the excuse that you are bored, introduce your children to your passion (art, literature, sports, fishing, ceramics, flowers, whatever it maybe). The most important gift that you can give your child is your TIME.
Once again it’s only an opinion and I understand that there are some different situations.
Back to my Leave it to Beaver World. I need to get all dolled up, the kids cleaned up, house picked up, and a homemade dinner on the table so that when my husband gets home he knows how appreciative I am of him.
