I really don't. They amaze me.<BR/><BR/>There's not enough time in the day for a woman to do all the things she should be doing to feel that she's done her job and have that feeling of adequacy. It's hard being a wife and mom!<BR/><BR/>I hope you find your confidence again! And if you find a way to enjoy folding laundry, PLEASE let me know! :)Becky @ BoysRuleMyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078001998434425784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775129644289708346.post-47093276065642428442008-08-25T07:37:00.000-04:002008-08-25T07:37:00.000-04:00Well, the Lord certainly did give you an answer. ...Well, the Lord certainly did give you an answer.

My mil lived with us for 8 months and has been gone now for almost 3 months. While she was with us I had mixed feelings. She didn't do nearly as much as your mil, but she did help some. Some days I greatly appreciated it. Other days I felt she wasn't contributing enough to the family welfare. Still other times I wrestled with having another woman in my kitchen, cleaning my home, carting my kids around. I'm not a very domestic woman so I felt a little threatened by this woman who had great domestic skills.<BR/><BR/>When she left it was a fairly big adjustment. Suddenly, I didn't have the option of having someone else step in when I needed help. I was it. Definitely an adjustment.<BR/><BR/>However, in the long run it's been a good thing. I'm much more appreciative of my home and much more domestically inclined now that the full responsibility for my home has returned to me. I also spend a lot more time interacting with my family because I can't just think, "They're fine, they're with Grandma."<BR/><BR/>Having her here for a season was a good thing. But when it's all said and done, I want to be the mom and the housekeeper and the cook and the family manager. I didn't realize it until it wasn't fully mine, but now I do. <BR/><BR/>You'll have adjustments, but I bet it will all be good in the end, especially if she's going to help out financially.Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945043297139219733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775129644289708346.post-72403960520018265492008-08-24T17:20:00.000-04:002008-08-24T17:20:00.000-04:00I came across your blog via Beth's LPM blog.
