I really started to enjoy the stay-at-home-mom role. We fell into a routine, which often involved sleeping until 9am and taking a 2-3 hour afternoon nap. Yes, both of us.
I was able to keep the house clean, cook a few meals, play with a doll house, and stay in my pjs until about 11. It was awesome.
I know there must be more to this than what I have experienced. There is the great and lasting debate about which is more difficult: working mom or staying at home mom. So, what am I missing?
Sure, we've had our rough patches. Naps weren't always the easiest, and sometimes I just wanted to skip the laundry and clothes folding for something a little more, fun. Like a Grey's Anatomy marathon.
Perhaps the difference is that this was just a week. It was a week were I was home, but we still had 2 incomes. I suppose true SAHMs do things like pay the bills and balance the checkbooks and clip coupons and stuff. And have play dates in the park, and power walk. And make their children geniuses. All things I seem to have no interest in.
Well, except the child genius part. We're getting there. She almost knows her right and left. Sometimes. By accident.
Ok, so maybe I'm not cut out for this...
