I also believe that Mums do house work when the kids are around and occasionally play but I don't know any real homeschool Mums where I live who would honestly say it aloud. Your honesty is gratefully appreciated. I feel perhaps that I just might be okay as a Mum after all :DQueen of the Nativeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798913341731560872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-9723956534816614412010-12-21T21:22:26.555-06:002010-12-21T21:22:26.555-06:00Sheila, we used to always watch that show!!!

I, too, feel like a neglector when I see kids looking all polished and my own happily dressed themselves in mismatched patterns.<br /><br />I completely agree. I've never been one to play with my kids all day. I am proud that my girls can entertain themselves. But sometimes i do feel like I am not living up to some expectation.<br /><br />thanks for this post!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570796770714543897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-24322357042960116142010-12-21T21:06:09.847-06:002010-12-21T21:06:09.847-06:00LOVED this.

So I love your comment about how it's good for kids to see you working. It absolutely is! But you're absolutely right, too, in that we should give ourselves a break, because dishes from last night not being done does not constitute child abuse. So let's all just chill and get the work done, little by little, and not go to either extreme!<br /><br /><i>Sheila from <a href="http://tolovehonorandvacuum.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">To Love, Honor and Vacuum</a>!</i>Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842674051346091248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-32447494493262549532010-12-17T22:52:53.494-06:002010-12-17T22:52:53.494-06:00Very nice.
