Moms of Many it's September - Page 10

Go you, cheeky Mama of many. One too many comments can push on over the edge I find...

My situation is the reverse: not many people really know what I do now.

When I was pregnant with our fourth, teaching here, there and everywhere during the week and in the evenings, I was superwoman. Now that I do the equivalent of a couple of full time jobs running the back office of our own business while home educating dd1 and keeping the family fed and clothed on next to no money people ask me what I do all day.

Sometimes I think it should be a requirement of citizenship of the world to truly understand what it is that mothers do all day...like there is a real-time movie of a real mother, where the camera just follows her all day long, oh! and into the night too, to show how freaking often she gets out of bed in the night time! Jeez, even a shortened version would do wonders so we don't have to answer that question with "well, where should i start? i wiped noses, cleaned up various poop..."

and You'd have to have it on screens all over the country though so it got into people's heads subliminally because I don't think anyone would sit in a theatre for 24 hours straight!
