If I can give you any advice, it's this: every hour that you spend sat on the couch doing nothing, put it to good use, because when you have kids, an hour is like a lifetime.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have more time to work; I just do. Because once your kids are up and running, that frees you up a good 20, 30, hours a week.
I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
You want to spend time with your children even though you are tired so you do all those things.
I have 3 kids and a cat and a busy, noisy house. I get more time to relax when I'm working.
So many parents these days are totally cool with their kids living on the couch the whole time. It's like a new thing with families. But you've got to leave the nest and get out there.
With the kids around, this is a different world to me. I spend a lot of time with them till they go to their playschool. I wake up early, have breakfast with them. I come back from work and am with them again till they go to bed by 10 P.M. Touch wood, this is what I wanted always.
I have family obligations and all that stuff. I get my kids six weeks in the summer, which is a real intense period of time. I'm with them every minute of the day.
By the time the children go to bed, I am as drained as any mother who has spent her day working, car pooling, building Lego castles and shopping for the precisely correct soccer cleat.
I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.
I'm not a potato sack; I've never sat on my couch. If I'm home, I'm cleaning, feeding my dogs, doing stuff. Life is too precious to waste time.
