I'm a stay home mom with 4 kids, even though I live with their father, it seems to always be me the one who is always here for them, he is hardly ever home. comes home late and goes directly to bed. so it's mainly just me all the time, 24hrs around the clock, and it does get hard. sometimes I do cry because i need the help but it wasn't taught to him to do things like that. so for me it's just me. I'm alone doing everything. but the rewards are so much greater for me. I get the memories and get the laughter and they keep me going. so some tears are ok, but remember to just think it will always be you they look up to and remember the great fun and joy you brought them. it will always be mom who took them to school, who spent time with them, who told them stories, who healed their ouchies and so much more, so keep that in your mind when you are about to fall apart. it will always be you they remember being there for them, they will love you so much more for it and be very special to them always. many hugs for you. I try to go outside and count to ten when I get this way. and think of my rewards that come. and trust me having the other person there doesn't always make it easier. so smile and just remember there's others out there who are going through the same. and your just another lucky one who gets to enjoy all the fun memories.
