I know I am NOT the only homemaker/housewife/stay at home mom...however you put it it's all the same...that feels like maybe it's not a real job.
There are plenty of things I wish I would have done different in life: Finished high school, waited to have kids, gone to college, found a career I truly loved ect. Seeing as I took the complete opposite road I feel I don't really have many talents and dreams...nope just to raise my kids to be successful adults and do everything different than I did. I became a mom WAY too early and got married early as well. I have worked many different jobs...retail, babysitting, housecleaning ,have been a barista...but to be honest...none of them felt as rewarding as what I do now.
I am many things all rolled into one. Maid, cook, event planner, accountant, nurse, chauffeur, personal shopper...so many things. I love knowing that if one of the kids is sick I am always here for them. They can count on coming home and having someone to welcome them. Anytime they need something I am able to pick it up. There were so many times growing up I wished I had that. Who knows maybe my life would have ended up different had I had that.
I always make sure groceries are bought, bills are paid, laundry is done, house is clean, animals are cared for. My calendar is always filled with when things are due, appts, school events, birthdays, days off of school ect.
So for those of you that think being a homemaker/housewife/stay at home mom is NOT a real job...think again. I may not have a 9-5 schedule...that's because I have a 24 hour schedule. Actually I like to call myself a Domestic Goddess. :)
Homemaker...it IS a REAL job!
Hell yeah it's a real job! I was only a stay at home mom for 3 1/2 months, but it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. There is no break. Hubbies get to leave their jobs at the end of the day/week, but there is NO break from being a mom. I am proud of you. :)
