I am a stay at home mother to 4 boy's ages 13 1/2, 12 1/2, 11,and 10. My second son has a Primary Immune defect and was a sick child till he was about 9 years old. #3 and 4 were born 3 months early and had to spend time in the hospital. Also #3 has ADHD and was diagnosed at age 3 but we did not start meds till he started school. I have had my fair share of the ups and down's of being a SAHM but I am so glad that I have been home for them when they need me.

My husband sometimes would not get what I have to do in a day and it would get me mad. I once handed him our child and a bottle and a dipper and told him that I was going to go take a shower without any interruptions and I was sure he knew what to do if baby started to fuss. I shut the door and it was a good half an hour latter that I came back out! I also did not pick up after him or get his plate of food for 3 day's before he apologized for taking me for granted! Sometimes I have to give him a PLAY By PLAY of what it is I want him to help with but guys need that sometimes. They hear I need some help here and think that if they get the door while you are bringing laundry up that is helping you out a lot!

Now that the boy's are older, I started to watch my friends 2 little girls so I could still be home is the boy's need me. I enjoy my kids but it is nice to get a break every now and then.

I also should say that I have a seizer disorder and have not driven for the past 15 years because we can't get them under control so once my hubby goes to work if I can't walk to it , we don't go!
