I appreciated your post. It is hard to be superwoman. And I'm sure superman needs to vent and chill. That's why he was Clark Kent and working at a newspaper.

i think you are a great mom too, but you better quit the swearing before the kid can repeat you and embarass you in front of other people. I speak from experience. My daughter repeats everything.

Pshh on those haters
I know how you feel. I only had 6 weeks of maternity leave though and it was back to work. I only work 3 days a week (before baby also), and it still sucks being away from him when he's so young.
It will get easier for all of us- I'm sure of it

The haters are jealous of your awesomeness You, Nate & your fam know you are a good mom & doing the best you can… that's all that matters. Not these douchebags "yelling" at how horrible you are.

some people just want to be contrary and point out what they consider to be faults in others, because they are insecure with their own decisions that they've made in life. "shake the haters off."

i totally empathize with you in the world of hectic schedules & feeling like you just haven't accomplished it all, no matter what. but you know what? we'll get there…we'll all get there.

I love reading your blog! You are a great mother who is honest about motherhood and trying to juggle a full time job. You should be proud of your self!

I didn't read the comments of your last post – I'm catching up from this weekend. I thought the whole point of a blog was the vent, journal and sort thoughts out. I didn't realize it gave people the right to flog you for your opinions and thoughts. I would delete them too – you don't need that negativity in your life. Good for you for making your life "work" in your own way. You're happy, hubs is happy, baby is happy – life is good.

On the note of a maid service – do it if you can afford it. Our friends have someone come in once every two weeks to do the bigger cleaning chores. I want to do the same thing very much so.

Hey girl,
I didn't read the previous post until this one was already up, so I already knew not to read the comments because of this post. Life is too short for negativity, so screw 'em. The original post was a vent, which we all NEED sometimes. & I don't know how anyone could have been upset by it. This is YOUR blog, where you can tell YOUR thoughts, and no one can say SHIT about it! :]

You know what, eff 'em! Eff them all! I have read your blog in it's entirety and, duh, I love it. It reads like a book a good gf wrote and I deeply appreciate it. I feel like I have a friendship with you even though it's totally one sided since you don't know me at all but I've read your whole blog. Heh heh. I don't always stalk– just on occassion, when the mood hits me. Anyway, this is a good, but completely unneccessary post as you don't need to defend yourself. It's really great, not just for you, but for others as well, that you wrote honest posts about life as a mother. That said, if ever you have a minute to squeeze from your über busy day and want to take a looksie at my blog as to balance this "friendship", my blog addy is ofpearlsandperfume.blogspot.com. It's private 'cause my in-laws are awful, awful ppl, so I need to add your blogspot email as a reader if you do choose. My email is heidimomeidi@gmail.com if you decide to take a gander!

Hope this week is better, and I'm doing the McFatty Mondays with you, so I look forward to your post about that.

I didn't find your post controversial at all. I feel the same way, I would LOVE to quit the rat race and stay home with the babe. I find it exhausting to juggle it all, and I long for my maternity leave lifestyle. It's refreshing to see others going through these issues. You seem to like schedules… maybe set a blog schedule – like updates on Tuesdays and Saturdays?
