I am a...Thank you so much for posting this to WFMW! I am an employed mother who reads stuff online during my lunch break at work, and much as I love the useful tips from WFMW, I feel a little like I don't belong because so many of the posters are SAHMs and some have quite an attitude about it being the best and only way (like Tristan). We mothers have more in common than not, and homemaking tips are as useful to someone who's making her home in the 6 hours a day she's awake there as to someone who's home all day.<br /><br />I do want to mention: I try to say "employed mom" instead of "working mom" because I know that a mom who is with her kids all day IS WORKING! And I know how hurt I feel when someone refers to a SAHM as a "full-time mom." I am my child's mother all the time, and I never stop knowing it, and neither does he!<br /><br />I'm so glad you found such a wonderful daycare!<br /><br /><i>He woke up shortly after I arrived (I didn't do it) and I picked him up and sat on the floor in the middle of the play area and just rocked him. They must have thought I was some sort of a lunatic.</i><br />You know, what I think is crazy is that anyone thinks that's crazy!! Why wouldn't a parent, on the first day her child is in a new place, be eager to reconnect with him? I think it's weird that some parents are able to walk in, set down their child, and immediately walk out without even saying goodbye! My kid would never stand for that, even if I could. :-)'Beccahttp://blog.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601433566601429153.post-39104424765027689122009-09-23T20:30:31.221-04:002009-09-23T20:30:31.221-04:00It's true, when it's "right", yo...It's true, when it's "right", you know it! We used the same daycare/preschool for both our kids, for over twelve years between them. It was truly like leaving my kids w/ their grandparents. It was a small facility and we were all, parents and staff, like family. The director would attend school programs for grandparents for my daughter, when her own grandmother couldn't be there. Tristan, don't be sorry for all of us who "have to work". If it's His plan, it will be a blessing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601433566601429153.post-45960914126705442082009-09-23T18:24:48.296-04:002009-09-23T18:24:48.296-04:00We did the day care thing and you're right it&...We did the day care thing and you're right it's important to find one that's trustworthy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595549057172510815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601433566601429153.post-81144958324981838712009-09-23T12:50:19.948-04:002009-09-23T12:50:19.948-04:00Aw, it's a very reassuring feeling to know tha...Aw, it's a very reassuring feeling to know that your kids are with someone you can trust and who will love them.Cheryl@SomewhatCrunchyhttp://crispy-not-crunchy.blogspot.com/2009/09/wfmw-cleaning-stainless-steel.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601433566601429153.post-66607346805929342132009-09-23T08:58:27.699-04:002009-09-23T08:58:27.699-04:00Just stopping by from WFMW to check out your blog....Just stopping by from WFMW to check out your blog.

We make it work with 5 children and hubby's income under $29,000/year, so don't say it isn't possible.Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483248387092516827noreply@blogger.com
