Hi Sharonv3078,
Congratulations at being a "stay at home Mum". In this day & age, a lot of Mums have to go out to work & put their children in Day Care. I suppose I was lucky that I didn't have to work part-time until my oldest son was 3, my daughter was 6 & I'd been on my own for over a year as my husband had an affair & I just couldn't share him.
Although I married again when I was 35, then came out to Aussie from the U.K. I had another 2 kids- Rachael was 4lbs 9ozs & 5 weeks early & Steven our youngest was only 1700g & 6 weeks early. I just can't imagine not being around when all of my kids said their 1st. word, smile, crawl, tried to feed themselves & their lst. steps. I've always been there for my children. Financially it was pretty tough going but I made the kids clothes, cooked & chopped all their meals (lots of vegies from the garden) & just being there for them trying to create a wonderful close family unit. Playing games, not watching much t.v. apart from Playschool etc which was their relaxing time.
My eldest daughter in the U.K. put our grandaughter into day care when she was only 3 months old, so my daughter could go out & have her nails/hair done. She has internet shoping delivered to her kitchen, cleaner, gardener & even someone to clean her Oven!!!!!!!!! I keep saying to my hubby "Oh I must have worked too hard bringing up my kids & where did I go wrong"?
Please enjoy your children, you'll be there to capture everything they do. Perhaps later on maybe you could get a part-time job during school hours.
Anyway all the best to you & good luck. Please when you have time, just have a quick look at my profile.
