Being the invisable mom

Nice discussion from my point of view and Hats Off to raise this discussion. The line in the beginning "Being the invisible mom" is really excellent line which is most elegant line I have ever seen. I am working for an IT company at Chennai, which is nearly 362 Kms away from Bangalore and my family i.e., my hubby and my 2 1/2 yrs old son, my mom-in-law, who rightly deserves to be called as mom and my father-in-law are back at Bangalore. My whole family knew that I am here to support them but they all miss me a lot every 28 days as I meet them only once in a month. Its really difficult to literally be invisible from all of them and to lead a life, I hope let me get transferred to Bangalore at the earliest and make some asset from my family and get retired and lead a housewife life by taking care of my beloved family.

Sometimes being a mom and wife is a thankless job. We are just taken for granted. Take some time off, and see what happens. You sound like a beautiful warm and loving women, do not change your ways sugar.

I don't know that I feel invisible but I feel stretched thin. I run a home daycare during the day with 5 kids; my two ages 3 yr and 11 wks then I have a 13wk old and 11 month old twins. Then I go to school at night. When I get home all I want to do is sleep due to having children all day long. I love waht I do and I know I am blessed but sometimes I just need a little me time. It seems like every spare minute is still taking care of someone else. When I get home at night my husband wants his time but all I want is sleep most nights. I too hate that sometimes he feels neglected but I can't give up anything that I'm doing. I'm just not sure where to find the extra time during the day.
