I just have to ask those working moms....How do you do it?????
I am a Step-mom to two boys ages 6 and 9. I have a three year old that has been in minimal nursery school since he was one. He only goes three days a week for a couple of hours.
My step-sons BM (birth mother) just had a baby with her BF and this is her schedule:
She drops my step-sons at school to the morning-care program at 7:15AM (school starts at 8:45AM). She then drives her three month old baby to an in-home sitter that has five or six other kids at 7:45AM and then goes to work. She picks the baby up at 6:00PM and then she picks my SS up from after-care at 6:15PM (their school is over at 3:10PM). So my ss's are at school each day for 11 hours and the three month old baby is at a sitters for 10 hours each day!
Doesn't that seem like a lot! I just don't understand this. I offered to watch my SS's and she let me for two weeks and then got mad at my DH and put them back in the scholl child care program.
Why would you bother having children if someone else is going to raise them for you?

(I am SO glad we all really like her, too; she's just wonderful and so is her son--who got along SO well with the other kids in the family on Saturday night; John's dad and stepmom hosted his family's annual Pollyanna exchange and her son just jumped right into the midst of the other kids and got along so well. :) Can you tell I'm just over the moon about this?
Smart lad you have there, proposing before Christmas. My dad made the mistake of wanting to give my mom the ring when she wasn't expecting it, and gave it to her AFTER Christmas. After giving her a STEAM IRON for a Christmas present! I'm amazed she didn't brain him with the d*mned thing, LOL! (He likes tools, and thought that was a 'girl version tool,' poor dumb bugger, LOL.)
