People Who Cannot See They Have it Made

There is nothing wrong with that, I love pb&j's and cleaning up toys is a never-ending chore lol! I bet you are an awesome stay at home mom! My issue is mainly towards stay at home moms that don't do it all themselves, yet complain all the time. Like ones who stay at home with their parents, and their parents are generally the ones tending to the children and buying all the necessities like diapers and formula. Yet they act like it is the worst thing in the world. There are stay at home moms, that just think there job is a part time job while everyone else is working... but you are right, not just being a stay at home mom, but a parent is a full time job. It is tough, and no one is perfect, but it reminds me of how great my mom was when I was little, but then she had to get us out of an abusive environment (caused by my father), so she had to work all the time, and it was basically like me and my brother raised ourselves. My mom didn't have time to spend with us at all, and I wished she could have been there. I just wish some people could see how much of a blessing it is to not have to work, and to be able to have time to raise their children. It makes me think, maybe my brother wouldn't be as messed up as he is, or maybe I wouldn't have went through some bad things I faced if we had someone to guide us, discipline, or teach us. If I would not have gave my life to Christ when I was 19, there is no telling where I would be.

There are a lot of awesome parents out there, but you are right about the others just wanting attention. It is okay to strive for more, I do so as well. It is just having the intentions to get up and do something about it, and you seem like a person who would. Other people will say they want this and want that, but think it should be handed to them. Trust me, sometimes I really wish I could have some handouts too, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that... and that is why I try to work hard for what I have.
