People think because I am a stay at home mom, I am available 24/7 for whatever they need, whenever they need it. Like I have no responsibilities.

I've always heard that "your kids come first" and while that is true in some situations, sometimes us mom's have to take care of ourselves mentally and physically!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657129913583490090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559913990860822675.post-74743475809261651792015-12-14T20:22:17.462-06:002015-12-14T20:22:17.462-06:00I enjoyed being a homemaker and stay at home "...I enjoyed being a homemaker and stay at home "step" mom. The myth people used to tell me is that I do nothing but sit or watch TV, just stay at home all day. Completely false, as a homemaker and a mother, the day is completely fill with activities, house related, school related or after school related. I never got to sit down to rest until the kids went to bed.

I do some side jobs from home, but sometimes its hard to balance even how much time to spend on those jobs. <br /><br />I like your tip. When my younger children's sibling rivalry and bickering get out of hand, I assign extra chores to do. It keeps them busy. I love the window washing idea on opposite sides. <br /><br />Thanks for all the follows. I will add the extra entries.<br /> <br />BlessingsAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788611540035415046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559913990860822675.post-73398830030408491372015-12-01T23:52:45.879-06:002015-12-01T23:52:45.879-06:00The myths I struggled with were 1) I am "jus...The myths I struggled with were 1) I am "just" a Mom and 2) I have to do it all right or my children will turn out all wrong. I felt I wasn't pulling my fair share if I stayed home caring for our children instead of having a job. It seemed I was constantly bombarded through magazines and other media with stories about how if you don't do "this" then your children will turn out like "this". <br /><br />As far as advice, when my girls started fighting with each other, I had them clean my living room windows. One on the inside and one on the outside. If it was winter, I would have them sit in chairs facing each other until they apologized to each other. <br /><br />I have signed up to follow your blog using phoneticpanda (at) gmail ( dot ) com I have also liked your Facebook page and signed up for your newsletter and followed your Google + page.<br /><br />Kathy Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058521531784778668noreply@blogger.com
