[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be funny, but if your kids are in school, what do you do all day?  I've been on vacation all of this week, and LOVING it.  Wishing I didn't have to go back.  But, now that it's the end of the week, I'm wondering what would I be doing if this was my way of life?  I feel like I'd run out of money & things to do.

Just curious....[/quote]

I make lunches, take kids to school, go to grocery store, unpack groceries, check my e-mail, go on this godforsaken shit, clean/do laundry/fold laundry/put away laundry, work out when I am not hugely pregnant, do bills, keep the family schedule chugging, pick up one kid early form their school, feed them lunch, play, pick up other kid, go to ballet/soccer/chorus/swimming, scooter on the sidewalk, do sidewalk chalk, go to park, make dinner, bathe kids, read to kids, kiss kids, drag my ass to bed.

I have help twice a week.  I mostly run errands or do volunteer work, but sometimes I have lunch with my hubby or get my nails done.

I am a lucky woman, very happy, and have no desire to work.  Desire for more money to pay for private schools?  Yes.  Work?  No.  I love seeing my kids and having a chill schedule.  I love not running around (too much) like a crazy person.  I recognize that this is a luxury and I appreciate it every day.

I also recognize that some women are happier working for lots of different reasons.  Kudos to them.  The trick is to find the best way for your whole family to live (according to your values) and make it work.  And be ready for it to change.  Easy right?  I wish....[/quote]
