I'm going to see 27 Dresses tonight with Shayla, Liz, and Lynzie & Ethan is coming too. Movie starts at 8pm, I'm excited to get out with the girls. Ben is going to stay home with Jake and Ryan. I hope it's good! So, does anyone else find motherhood a little unfair? Or am I just selfish? Even when going out with the "girls" I'm still bringing a child with me. I feel like I have no "me" time. Ben is going shooting with his brothers tomorrow morning by himself. I'll be watching both boys. I talked to Ben about this and how I was frustrated, and he said, "I can't help that I don't have boobs". Am I alone on this? Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, and wouldn't trade them for anything. But sometimes I'd just like to pee by myself, ya know?

I completely understand! I feel Jake gets up to go to work but if the kids are sick when I was supposed to leave for work--guess hwich one gets to think fast and make it all work? Which one getrs to arrange for sitters? Which one do the kids come to if ANYTHING happens?! At this stage for us, I offer no more than Jake and yet "the mom" gets to do everything! It's definitely jipped!
Yep. I try and think of it as a blessing that I CAN do these things with my kids and be there for them, but yeah. Even when Brent's home and I ask him to watch Tess so I can take a shower, two minutes later she's peeking through the curtain and pulling stuff off the counter. His mind just doesn't work the same way as mine does and he can't keep track of everything, I guess. He's just not as good at it as I am!
