You deal with isolation and the lack of adult conversation, but you gain in that you KNOW what's going on 24/7 with your children...me, I'm still working on learning to breathe!Mary Alford-Carmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128885998230398086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824836604247418948.post-69044759552683154202011-03-07T06:31:59.349-05:002011-03-07T06:31:59.349-05:00First I have to say, I heart "Unmommyish"...First I have to say, I heart "Unmommyish" - the term and the article. I never intended to be a stay at home Mommy, but mine were so sick all the freakin' time and with only 18 months between the two, it was impossible to keep them apart so the ping pong of germs was a constant. I so appreciated (sarcasm dripping) the man who told me his wife was a nurse and had assured him that strep throat really was dangerous, or the one who asked why can't you just leave them with someone. Misdiagnoses of one child along the way never helped. But now they are healthy and I've learned that there is no right answer, you're just hoping not to make the worst one. The ability to change to staying at home helped me breathe. But when do you want to fly to Rio??Evelyn P Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022845583053677907noreply@blogger.com
