[quote=Anonymous]I’m a “lame” mom, and I’m thinking of who in my crowd would write this kind of OP.

If you were my friend OP, I would want to tell you that you have some opportunities that the rest of us don’t have. I don’t know you like I know my friend, but she for example has family literally next door to watch the kids daily (even for short spurts). She has actually younger kids than I do, while I have an older kid and younger kids, which means life is simpler for her right now. No homework, wordy-attitudes, committed after school activities. I also have the same tantrums, little kid activities, and chasing-them-around exhaustion that she has. She has some work commitments that I don’t have, but they’re entirely optional as they are independently wealthy with a home paid off.

I wouldn’t compare myself to her ever. I chose what I have. But if she called me lame....that’s when I would compare. I don’t have time to do really anything extra for myself. Vacation w/o kids is the best I can do, and not yearly. I can afford to hire a babysitter monthly to go out with my husband;and most of the time we want to go alone, not with friends, so we can actually talk.[/quote]
