For all the stay at home moms, yes I'm one of them. I have one question, do you plan on going back to work once all of your children are in Elementary school? Or do you like staying at home and have decided to never work again? I am just curious, my husband and I have talked about it. I am mainly home just for my kids, to be here when they come home from school is nice, but, I tend to get bored easly, so I have decided once my 3 year old enters into Elementary school, I will be going back to work. I have thought and thought about this, my husband is fine if I decide not to work or if I decide to go back and work. We are financially stable so I can choose to stay home if I want. I would be working so i won't be bored, while the kids are at school all day long. I do plan on working part time, so i can be home when they get home from school. I'm not the type to sit around and do nothing all day, right now my kids are home half the day at least my 5 year old is, so I have her, and my youngest to be home for. I just can't envision myself sitting here all day long with no children around, going gee what do i do now, ain't gonna happen.
I'm done rambling, waiting for replies!!!!

Well...we went out quite a bit (keep in mind I was in college the entire period we were dating and graduated only 2 mths before our wedding) to parties, movies, sporting events, etc. We also did a great deal of traveling while dating and in our pre-DS years of marriage.
DH will occasionally shop w/me, although it's like one of the nine circles of hell for him. And I'll occasionally fish w/him. We also spend time at FIL's lake entertaining, riding the jet skis, playing in the paddle boats.
We still do much of it, but now our movies are generally kid movies w/DS and the parties are much tamer!

"How is it good to have a husband who works 75 hours a week if THAT makes the wife bitter and resentful?"
I think more emphasis should be of "if" rather than "that". I'm not resentful of my dh working long hours. I knew that was part of the package I was signing on for.

yes,ita. i don't think bitter and resentful are the right words,either. sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches....long days aren't a bed of roses but i don't hold it *against* my dh for working it either.
heck,when i know dh is working super late,it's my cue to treat the kids to mcds! ;)
Oh dear. Here I am, trying to choose my words carefully, and evidently, when I hit enter, those words transform themselves into other words like "lying" and "delusional", and then they elicit even more words, like "implication" and "insulting".
At the risk of "insulting" someone with an "implication", I can only say that it makes me wonder whether there's something wrong with my computer or whether my carefully chosen words have even been read.
