I don't work away from home, but I work from home, and things are very much the same way. My husband helps out with the house, but there's no way to stay on top of everything and get it all done. I would dearly love to step back in time a little bit to when we all just had farms and worked the farms as families and then traded our goods back and forth. It would back-breaking, but we'd all be together, working together for common goals.Tristi Pinkstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122250747480013804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068764783938495548.post-16668569292824104742010-11-16T22:13:32.493-08:002010-11-16T22:13:32.493-08:00I feel exactly the same way. What really bothers m...I feel exactly the same way. What really bothers me is when other women think we are somehow inferior for wanting to stay home and be "just" a mom. I'll go back to those days with you. Wouldn't it be great?Stephanie Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998075443712084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068764783938495548.post-79863462166213561092010-11-16T06:21:56.819-08:002010-11-16T06:21:56.819-08:00Hi Anna I thought you'd been round to my house...Hi Anna I thought you'd been round to my house for a moment:). My wife feels the same as you and finds it very frustrating that due to how expensive everything is he can't do this. We don't live beyond our means we have 4 children in a two bedroom house but because of the ridiculous house prices we can't afford a bigger one so we make do. However on the plus side we have a very strong family unit and we make sure we spend as much time together as we can. I try to do as much as I can around the house, not a lot I can but due to working full time the other side of London for the wages and the three hours traveling it's not a lot.
