Full Time Job

How many full time jobs do you have?



Are you a spouse? An Employee? Parent?



I work an 8-5 job, but with my commute I get on the train at 6:50am and get back to the station between 5-5:20pm. Before work everyday, I have to get myself ready, and get Logan up, dressed, fed, and take him to daycare. Then after work, pick him up, get home, homework, dinner, bath then bed! And a few nights a week we have martial arts, and what ever else may come up. Now dont get me wrong Ray is there to help, but at the same time I take good care of him too! So my day starts at 4:00am, and ends sometime around 9:00ish.

I am sure lots of you who are reading this go through the same thing, and even have more kids that you take care of, and I could not image that!!! One drains me!

Now the job...ok I work at a financial institution, so right now any one who knows the industry knows how stressfull it can be...but I am there everyday as I need to be, and can be contacted 24/7. Even the 2 weeks I was out on jury duty, at breaks and lunches I was emailing and putting out fires. Now I am not trying to say I am super woman...others of you do this as well.

When do you get a day off...well off from work, when the kid is sick..then you are taking care of a sick kid, and probably dealing with work stuff...so not a day off. What about when you have a 'holiday' form work...oh wait, kids are probably off that day too...SOOOOO.....you schedule a day off, but when and how do you do that for convenience of everyone. Then you take the kid to school, and are expected to pick them up ...so there goes your day, you are on a schedule. What about a weekend????

Who gets nights and weekends off from being a parent??? What do you do with that time? That is right you clean your house and take care of things that you always have to put off for NO TIME, well when it is yours to take care of. Logan was away for 6 days over the summer, I was insane missing him...but I guess if they are a dime a dozen. What does it matter.

In my opinion...if YOU are not able to take care of your kids....why not do some thing about it.

Babies are a blessing for many reasons and only God knows why they are here...but sometime I do question in my head the WHY????

He knows what he is doing, I am not doubiting that....but HELL if you have been blessed....pull your head out of your JOHN BROWN HIND PARTS and be a freaking parent.
