[quote=Anonymous]I admit that I somewhat do.  It's not something i ruminate about or ever give thought to in a normal day to but if you would tell me "i don't work and I have full time help" I will be both confused about what you do all day and think you're sort of lame.  I am by no means supermom or super wife but I never found having young kids to be that challenging.  Mine are twins and third that is 3 years younger and they''re now in middle school and high school.  I always did things around the house when the kids napped or got an occasional sitter (maybe once every other week?) to go to lunch without kids.  I took them with me when I ran errands. Then when the kids turned 2.5 or so they started preschool several days a week which gave me more time.  My husband worked long hours so he wasn't present.  When my youngest was 4 I went back to work full time because I missed my career.

I think some people are just more cut out for having young kids.  I really enjoyed this phase of life.  I'd honestly have a perpetual toddler preschooler around if I could (like a dog!--which I have two of as well).  Now my teenagers are kicking my a$$.  I find this phase of parenting quite a bit more difficult.  [/quote]
