I don't have children but that doesn't mean I don't like children.<br /><br />And I can see how my friends with children love them to pieces, but I am with Mrs. Type A about not being able to have a conversation with some of my friends. The worst is when you are having a chat on an "adult" subject and your friends kids are hovering. Not babies, but grown-up kids. So irritating.CeCehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138461255808017641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055324437867392083.post-47131586485254190192012-05-14T12:05:17.251-04:002012-05-14T12:05:17.251-04:00I am a mother of six and I try my best to get out ...I am a mother of six and I try my best to get out on my own sometimes. I love to have grown up moments and I do still have date night with my husband. I have breast fed 5 of my children and 14 months is all they get. I have given 40 weeks and an additional 14 months of my body to my child. At some point it has to return to me and my husband and the bed is ours. I wonder if the mothers are doing this for the benefit of the child or for themselves. Mine seem to be doing just fine, especially when I take time to take care of myself. Doing so gives me more to give them and others around me. It's hard to be loving when your tired and stressed.

I am glad that there seems to be some questioning of "The American Way" The people who built America were not brought up according to the current fads and those who were seem to spend their time living with their parents because they can't find jobs, or, at least, the kind of jobs that they think they are entitled to.Barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055324437867392083.post-17755579748271376462012-05-11T17:13:43.098-04:002012-05-11T17:13:43.098-04:00I can't wait to read this book!

My brother in law and sister in law's lives are 110% encompassed by their two kids--so much so that I can't even have a conversation with them in their house-- and it drives me nuts. My parents employed the "it's grown up time right now, we are talking" thing growing up, so it's just crazy to me. I share your anxiety, because I don't want to be seen as a "bad mom" if I want to talk about things other than my child, go places without my child, etc. some day.Mrs. Type Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537568838829590245noreply@blogger.com
