I do appreciate them so much and it did make a difference to my day when I read them.<BR/><BR/>No matter how hard it is, I do know that in the end, I'll feel that its all worthwhile. I don't have to wait for the end...I'm already feeling it now although its mixed in with all the tiredness and the 'moronic' comments out there.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542715899155247984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-88590295552385562632007-09-27T19:02:00.000+10:002007-09-27T19:02:00.000+10:00Just want to let you know that i actually read ur ...Just want to let you know that i actually read ur blog and am loving it..

Chris was always home. We never considered it to be a sacrifice; it was a life style choice. We would raise and nurture our own kids. I know that not everybody can make this choice. If you can choose to be home, I encourage you to do so. Don't think for a moment that the kids don't notice.<BR/><BR/>Aaron was only three when I became an air traffic controller and went to only working 40 hours per week. One day, this little 3 yr old asked me, "Daddy, do you remember when you worked at the factory and were never at home?"<BR/><BR/>They know.John A Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777330742400065045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-78069935801115245422007-09-27T10:08:00.000+10:002007-09-27T10:08:00.000+10:00people only comment negatively about "time wasted"...people only comment negatively about "time wasted" by stay at home moms because they have limited knowledge about what is going on at home....perhaps they have been neglected in their childhood as well?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655446350288329829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-32470872271472230272007-09-27T07:23:00.000+10:002007-09-27T07:23:00.000+10:00If it is a WASTE stayign home with your won child,...If it is a WASTE stayign home with your won child,,,,,,,,,,,, what is it that I stay with OTHER PEOPLES CHILDRENJUST A MOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154079118849078723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-49207821880751254872007-09-27T04:54:00.000+10:002007-09-27T04:54:00.000+10:00The next time you hear that comment, you should as...The next time you hear that comment, you should ask them if they thought their moms/caregivers, etc wasted their time raising them. <BR/><BR/>A few X'mas ago, I was with my friend's 2 y-o in Canada, and he kept saying something like, "wa da da dee da" and pointed at things... only to find out from his dad that he's asking me, "what is that?" At times, I couldn't figure if he was speaking to me in English or Cantonese since they speak to him in both languages. I thought that was just so cute.NomadicExpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530123337350392876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-90255196389220759212007-09-27T03:10:00.000+10:002007-09-27T03:10:00.000+10:00Don't pay any attention to morons.

They should be glad someone "wasted" their time at home with them when THEY were kids!<BR/><BR/>From a linguistics perspective, watching a child learn language and communication is incredibly fascinating. I remember the absolute delight of watching each of my children move from noises to sounds to words, and now that I have grandchildren, I can experience the same joy again. I envy you!Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-62793864981202433622007-09-27T02:50:00.000+10:002007-09-27T02:50:00.000+10:00As much as I joke about my kids, I wouldn't have t...As much as I joke about my kids, I wouldn't have traded the time that I spent with them when they were younger for the world.
