Full time Mom and bread-winner?

Are you a fulltime mom, wife, and the bread-winner in your family? Is it even possible to honestly be all three at the same time, and not let something drop? If so, how do you make that happen?

I feel I am blessed to be a full time stay at home mom. I get to spend the most precious time with my children. My husband works extra hard so that we are able to do this with our children. My mother, was all 3. She had no choice but to be, my father passed away when I was 5, so she had to work at times 3 jobs, to make ends meet and be home to be a mother to us children. I don't think she let anything drop, she still come to all my school functions and then some. She was always so tired but she never once let that keep her from being there for her children.

silt80 yes it is possible as a lot of women have had to, and some still hAve to do All these things.necessity is the mother of invention and I imagine some of our mylotters can tell you much more than I can as to how they do it. I am retired and out of the rat race, and a widow so this does not pertain to me, but I was there and I did that as my husband was partly handicapped so I was the breAd winner for awhile too. but that was a long time bAck. hope you get a lot of good advice. goodluck.
