Both of my parents worked. Mom is gone from 8 to 5 at a construction site. Dad's out working in the days and gambled in the nights. When we're sick, in those days, teachers did not call parents to get the kids, we walked home ourselves (no bus to take either!) and go to this wonderful neighborhood mom's and laid in her bed (just a piece of plywood cover with some sheets as I recalled!) This is one of the GOOD LIVES I pondered back to when I'm sad.<BR/><BR/>SAHM or SAHD does WORK. In fact, it's a 24X7 job that never ends. We just don't get the monetary compensation others do. Our reward of course is priceless. For years, dh was a SAHD. I was always envied of his times spent with our kids. At times, I didn't want to hear what they did that day because I missed all the fun and magical moments!<BR/><BR/>Stephanie, you're making the GOOD LIVES and MEMORIES for those kids in absence of their parents. You're a gift from God and will be rewarding.<BR/><BR/>I better get off the computer to get ready to a theatrical performance in an hour. Sending possible vibes from me to you.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918741782882170435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32534903.post-430068815021567372007-12-11T20:03:00.000-06:002007-12-11T20:03:00.000-06:00We used to live in a neighborhood with lots of hou...We used to live in a neighborhood with lots of houses close to each other. We constantly had kids at our house. Now we live in a more secluded area and no kids come over. I really miss it. We love it when we get visitors, so much happiness. :)kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140450548487566657noreply@blogger.com
