My girls watching me and learning the importance of being financially independent - priceless

My mom probably said the same thing about me watching her. Too bad what I actually saw was a stressed busy mom who didn’t seem to have enough time for me ever. I stay at home now.[/quote]

Have you told your kids that other parents can in fact parent well while working full time? It is so personality dependent. I am also surprised that when you were a teenager, you wanted more time with your mom. That's not the normal pattern.[/quote]
