My sis was saying that she totally didn't relate w/ the mom's in her daughters' first grade class because all they do is talk and fuss about how busy they are . . .AS STAY AT HOME MOMS. I think moms who use the "guilt trip for sympathy" actually use it to excuse their irresponsibility at other things. And I agree, if the mom feels like she has to do more than she really can to make her family function, then family counseling is neeeded. An "oh, poor mom, you deserve a break" won't really help things.pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359969547269365313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711813778449236480.post-31916352240996793732008-05-14T16:42:00.000-04:002008-05-14T16:42:00.000-04:00I KNEW you guys would back me up on this one! :)I KNEW you guys would back me up on this one! :)Healthy Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343516605721256497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711813778449236480.post-88932358088010487042008-05-14T16:40:00.000-04:002008-05-14T16:40:00.000-04:00Yep.

Ask for help if you need it. If you can swing it, hire a cleaning person to come in every other week. Let your husband fold the laundry without standing over him and berating him for not doing it right. And if he's not doing ANYTHING without being asked, um, youv'e got bigger problems than being busy.E.

Unless you are rich, you have to. I actually DO groom my dog (hair cuts and all), but I don't consider myself a groomer. Just someone who has a pet.<BR/><BR/>Now, for MY rant, I think part of the reason mothers are looked at more than fathers is because mothers CHOOSE to take on so much responsibility. Or they marry some loser whom they don't trust to do anything. If you don't want to be stressed, don't take on so many tasks. And more so, don't have a kid.Sghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946260686181719098noreply@blogger.com
