#NaughtyMommy Happenings - I'm tired of being around kids
#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard
I don't know what the deal is, but this week I am just over it. I am tired of being a stay-home mom. I'm not even just a stay at home mom, I'm a mom that works from home. But damn, I never get a break. Work doesn't actually get done until the hubbard comes home. I spend my entire day just playing referee to these monkeys - get off the back of the couch, quit being a tattle tail, don't hit, go to your room, pick up your toys, stop yelling....it gets so incredibly frustrating. I love my kids, and I love being a mom, but I think I would love it so much more if I could get a little bit of time to myself.
I feel like such a shithead mom saying stuff like that, too. It breaks me down and I feel terrible, but it is what it is. Having three kids under four, all the time is hardcore. It's not because I am responsible for them, or that they are needy, it's that it's All.The.Time. Man, all the effing time. It's constant, and I still have to work. This isn't the job that I had planned for my life, I wasn't one of the girls that wanted to stay home with her kids since she was young. I wanted to work. I still want to work. I would LOVE to work. But daycare would cost more per day than I could make, and I would have to quit the job that I have now. So it is what it is. Having kids is the hardest and most rewarding job there is. Some days it is just more hard work than rewards.
