Jobs where you are looking after ...Yes to you both! Jobs where you are looking after other would be tough. I should have had a clause for that! Though I am guessing there will be other jobs that are actually hard too! I wouldn't return to teaching for the reason that I I dont feel I would have enough energy for my family after a day of look after other people's kids! And just to clarify the person who stares out of the window works for a local government office - hope she's not reading - or if she is, that she is doing so from work! :-PEmma Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929601119226414066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-76082164161764737002013-03-22T05:51:12.800+08:002013-03-22T05:51:12.800+08:00I wish there were a 'like' button Tiara!
I...I wish there were a 'like' button Tiara!<br />I feel like that too. I spend all day working with 2, 3 and 4 year olds, helping them, cleaning them up after things, listening to them, not finding time for a wee break...then I come home and do the same kind of things (only a little differently) for a family of three kids and a hubby. last night I had 4.5 hours sleep then a full day of work, no husbeast for a week, then taxi services until 9.30pm. I'm just about to crawl upstairs to read a sneaky chapter of my book.<br /><br />However, Tiara, I hate to disagree, she won't demand less of your time or attention, it will just be different and in a different way.<br /><br />Hats off to committed parents world over says I!!<br /><br />And ya boo sucks to DC and his bubbletastic ideas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686057978927588322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-32595731952827860362013-03-22T01:54:24.870+08:002013-03-22T01:54:24.870+08:00I agree, a good vent will keep us all a little mor...I agree, a good vent will keep us all a little more blissful!<br /><br />I must be in the minority though because I DON'T find coming to work a break or relaxing...maybe it's the nature of my job. As an Exec Assistant, I am taking care of people all day long then I am home & taking care of Elena. I am always meeting everyone else's needs. I rarely have any time to myself. Even after Elena goes to bed, I am lucky if I have an hour before I'm zonked & want to crawl into bed myself. And that hour is often spent making lunch, cleaning dishes, doing a load of laundry, cleaning up toys, etc, etc, etc. Don't mistake me, I am not complaining in any way. I love my life! I wouldn't want it any other way! I also know that as Elena gets older she will demand less & less of my time & attention so I am going to soak up as much as I can now!!Tiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511522028218347560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-76488803106122239462013-03-21T16:44:41.231+08:002013-03-21T16:44:41.231+08:00I am sure you do Jen - it must be even harder with...I am sure you do Jen - it must be even harder with twins.
