This is such a fabulous post Dave and you are completely right. We stay at home parents work our blumming socks off. Mr B is actually quite good in that he does help around the house, but he often catches us at a rough moment when I'm trying to cook dinner, get the kids to tidy up without falling out, and have just realised my hair looks kind of wild and I have kid snot on my shoulder. Nice. Jo Beaufoix´s last blog post..Jesus Wants Me For a Latte

Amber
Sorry for the delay and Thank You for leaving a comment.

Now what you do amazes me! My wife and I both worked and swapped over child care half way through the day. It’s one of the reasons I shelved my career. I couldn’t handle the pressure of the two roles. I admire you for being able to do it.

I love this! Thanks for shedding the light

I am both a stay at home mom AND a almost full time work at home mom, so I do double duty. I am tired most all the time but I wouldnt trade it for anything!

Captain Dumbass,
It’s a great lifestyle, but it’s hard graft. I’m worried I might have to give it up soon and go back to work. That would be a crying shame. Glad you dropped a line, cheers.

Kirst,
That would have been extremely cool. I’ll drp you an email n the next day or so to see whether you know anyone that I do. Kick me if I forget though.

Knobenders was the bane of my life with the Fowler Family – are they all dead yet? I haven’t watched it in over 10 years.

I think I've finally figured out why your name sounded so familiar!! Wanna know why? Huh? huh do ya? Well I was telling my sister about how your name sounded really familiar to see if it might spark something in her mind. Well after calling me a daft cow she said I was probably thinking of the Fowler's on Eastenders..lol Eeeee! Ach well aye! Kirst´s last blog post..Hasay wagon here I come! Do-dah, do-dah….

It would’ve been really cool if we’d known each other as kids and then stumbled across each other again. Ach well! Still think your site rocks! You’re a really funny writer, looking forward to future posts. )

I've been a SAHD since last September and this is by far the hardest thing I've ever done and I barely do any of the cooking. Single parents deserve to be awarded. Captain Dumbass´s last blog post..ίππος λευκός, or Liam, First Horseman Of The Apocalypse

Kirst, I only ever passed through or holidayed in Whitby and Filey (camping mostly). Sadly I remember little of Whitby .
It was fun to think we might have met though!!

I grew up in Whitby with two brothers and one sister, we left for the USA back in 89. Did you go to school in Whitby at all? We all went to Caedmon and a few of the primary schools. Kirst´s last blog post..A New Year, A New Me… Hopefully!

Kirst, this is my most popular post. It got an awful lot of attention. There were about 50 comments on it before I managed to lose about 1000 comments from my site a few weeks ago.

I confess, I laughed at how many poor husbands were going to be made to read my words. It’s only right though. I see things from a totally different perspective now, and I have a great deal of admiration for housewives and mothers all over the world – because I now know how tough their job is.

Glad you liked it!!

I have been to Whitby, but only as a child. I think my name occurs frequently enough to be popular, but not enough to be common. lol.

I’m only guessing, but I suspect you’re a long way from Whitby? Curious! Hmmm?

Oh, go on. Do tell!
