I find that when I have the opportunity to just do nothing, it's really hard for me, I'm so used to filling my days with stuff and Getting Things Done. Not that it works all the time, as you know, but still. Good job relaxing.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006026922416983261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714689.post-18921818059134675352007-08-17T07:16:00.000-05:002007-08-17T07:16:00.000-05:00If I had family close by and that were an option, ...If I had family close by and that were an option, I probably would have gone back to work earlier.<BR/><BR/>But there is no one here I would have trusted with my child.

I try to spend as much quality time with them as possible, but I also think there is a certain point when it becomes overkill.<BR/><BR/>Amy...sloth...repent...sloth...repent..is that how it works? :P<BR/><BR/>Sona...I never had to turn my baby over to anyone. My sister lived with us and stayed at home with the kids until after Unruly turned three, well old enough to start preschool and be socialized. Being a SAHM is what some are cut out do be excellent at doing, I know I'm not and I accepted that. I love my kids, but I don't think I need to be around them, or them around me, all the time.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283334035989645291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714689.post-28770624553408339562007-08-16T18:45:00.000-05:002007-08-16T18:45:00.000-05:00I loved being a SAHM.

I think a lot of parents of young kids torture themselves with guilt over every minute they don't spend with their kids ... never appreciating that their kids probably need the break from mommy and/or daddy as much as mommy or daddy needs the break from them. <BR/><BR/>Separation is healthy.
