I'm sure that she missed her own income but maybe not too much...she's the organized one and handles the finances in our relationship. My check is direct deposit and then in her control!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that she missed many of the things that you mentioned. On the other hand...many working moms don't even know what they are missing. Child care providers may not notice or tell parents that their child took his/her first steps while they were at work or made a discovery about how a toy works or said a new word. I was jealous of the time that Chris got to spend with the kids and yet so happy that it was her and not a "hired hand." I looked forward the report each day of what the kids did that day.<BR/><BR/>It's a good thing that I didn't have to pay Chris for the job she did as a mom. In a lifetime--I wouldn't be able to earn enough to properly compensate her.<BR/><BR/>From your blog friends...Good job, Amanda. No Raise. No new office. Just recognition for being a good mom.John A Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777330742400065045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-47487659016409848352008-05-30T00:23:00.000+10:002008-05-30T00:23:00.000+10:00LOL!Thanks Bilbo.

I hate cubicles, having once had a large and beautiful office all to myself.<BR/>2. Recognition? What's that?<BR/>5. The trips used to be great, until the airline travel experience became such torture.<BR/>9. Welcome to MY world!<BR/>11. In the Pentagon, the too-cold air conditioning is a function of the fact that it's more important to keep all the computers cool than all the workers comfortable. Sweaters are the order of the day.<BR/><BR/>But I think you were just cut out to be a mom...it comes through in every one of your posts. Someday, you'll get an outside job again, but you probably won't enjoy it as much!Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.com
