I never thought I wo...I seriously needed this post! I never thought I would be a stay at home mom. I always figured i'd multitask it. But I have now been a stay at home mom for 3 years, and I definitely pull my weight. I am also recently married (3 weeks ago) and planned most of the small wedding myself while taking care of the little one. And my husbands sisters, who do not have children, constantly inquire on WHEN i'm getting a job. And constantly push that having dual incomes would allow me to vacation and buy myself more things. My husband's job is more than sufficient, and we're comfortable. I actually googled being a stay at home mom and came across this, and it definitely made me feel better. I do not judge mothers who work. I think its definitely your choice, and I most definitely understand HAVING to work. But I find it incredibly irritating and rude that women, especially women without children, belittle stay at home moms. Again, your post really secured me and I wanted to thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10421290741328058991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057247606762755329.post-78790672712478853502013-09-20T06:36:44.599-07:002013-09-20T06:36:44.599-07:00Yes I'd love to have a bagel date or something...Yes I'd love to have a bagel date or something sometime!!

We WILL be meeting! :) I can't imagine having two kids (though gosh I'm so excited for it!) and juggling all that entails! Hats off to you, momma! I love how you said your mind wants to get more done than you can - that is perfect wording and so true! It's so frustrating! But what we are doing IS important! And so worth while! It's just hard to remember sometimes ;) I'm glad you liked the post! Thank you for reading it!

I haven't even met you but love your...Allison,<br /><br />I haven't even met you but love your mom and sister. I've looked at your blog through your instagram profile. I just wanted to thank you so much for this post. I just had our second baby and feel like a circus juggler! At the end of the day I wonder what I have done and get frustrated when my mind wants to get more done than I can. Thank you for this post for another reminder that mommyhood is worth it - and stay at home moms are doing something worthwhile! :) Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794586144990386624noreply@blogger.com
