Description

I could never be a stay-at-home mom. But I also can't go back to the corporate life I had. I want to be home for the kids, but I don't want to actually be home with them all day. 

Once again, a woman must make a life-changing decision. Stay at home or work full-time. There is a middle ground. But how middle is it really? That's where I am. This middle place. Working/writing "Part Time" and feeling the unfair burden of the children and the resentment that comes with it. Which led me to this episode. If this is hard for me...how do real FULL-TIME stay-at-home moms do it? 

I don't judge stay-at-home moms, but since having children, I've quickly learned I just can't do it. I'm not mentally, physically, emotionally equipped. Or maybe I am not seeing things clearly...I just don't know how you do it. 

I'm not judging you, I actually want to know....how do you do it? I'm not asking what you do all day, I KNOW what you do all day and I'm saying I don't think I could do it. I think you're special, I think you're built differently, I think you think about your kids and life and the world differently. Then again, I didn't know anything until I tried talking to them.
