Play often takes a backseat to the other things on my to-do list.
Before I had kids, I thought I was busy. I honestly believed working 40 hours every week,Okay, you can stop laughing now.
I’m okay with the way I am, but society – especially the segment of the population that loves to shame moms for “doing it wrong” – isn’t. No, these folks want me to let the dishes rot in the sink so I can savor every moment with my kids. They want me to quit my job so I can be more “present” with my kids. I’m guessing they probably want me to go all Montessori on the playroom and teach my kids a second language, too.
I’m a work-at-home mom, which means I spend a good chunk of my day staring into the bright screen of my laptop, crunching numbers for my corporate job. I also write for my blog, volunteer in the community, cook every morsel of food my family consumes , wash/dry/fold the laundry, run errands, take the kids to their doctor’s appointments … you get the idea. With a supportive husband who’s also a great dad, I know I’m one of the lucky ones.
