"Mommys Don't work"

Oh dear sweet little boy, who in his four year old little word uttered these words. No, I don't work in the same way that Daddy does. Being home with our kids hardly feels like work most days. But add in the laundry, cooking and cleaning and I've worked a fair share. All his life, I've been home with him, so a world where Mom goes off to work is very odd to him. We talked about all the different types of Moms out there. The Mom that goes to work 40 hours a week, the Mom who like me is home with the kids, and the Mom that goes to work part time. I tried to explain to him that weather they are home all the time or out working that each love their children more then anything. We'll see if the lesson sticks, I swear half the time, what I say goes in one ear and out the other. But such is the life of a Mom.
