I hope your "boss" goes for it! Sounds like a great idea to me. Yes, Miles is going through a phase (or two) and no, that one comment doesn't mean you have to turn things upside down, but I think having that one full day a week for just the two of you sounds like a great idea. Hope you have good news on it to share soon!Stacyhttp://thedelightfuldelaney.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-73038961635144227862010-06-13T16:22:42.146-05:002010-06-13T16:22:42.146-05:00I hope you got your day off.

I finally decided that it was not worth it anymore and I could still work but just 4 days a week and have one off with him. I have to say that it has been the most rewarding thing for me. We do a ton of activities together and have just Mommy and Carson time.

Obviously I don't know if I won't be able to for financial reasons either). Props to those who can, but I sure as heck couldn't.<br /><br />That being said, I do see the need for having at least one alone day with the child(ren). From babysitting, I do see the kids act out and be resentful when mom and dad are gone too much. Not that they are overly naughty, but they tend to be more difficult just because they'd rather mom or dad, not Miss Marianne. Can't say I blame them.<br /><br />My mom has always worked at least 3 days a week. Seriously, I think she got the best of both worlds. Definitely what I hope to be able to do!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844401897114561584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-22672924187902323712010-06-09T21:14:43.694-05:002010-06-09T21:14:43.694-05:00Good luck!

I will tell you thoug...I hope your wish comes true! I will tell you though that Hayden never wants to come home with me when I pick him up. Never. He goes to a Mother's Day Out 2 mornings a week... when I pick him up, he wants to stay with Madelyn (his girlfriend). He cries to me on the way home that he just wants to stay and rest with her (I pick him up before nap time because he doesn't nap... he only goes half day... he cannot stay for nap time... it is not an option). It tears me up when he does this... sometimes he comes with me and he is complacent and it isn't as much of a struggle... but he always would prefer to stay there. Always. I have cried about it sometimes when he cries to me in the car that he doesn't want to go home... that he just wanted to stay... that he doesn't want to be with me (and yes, he says those things as he hysterically cries). It makes me sad. Very sad. <br /><br />This Fall he won't be in the same class as his girlfriend anymore - which may be a good thing. Mayeb he will be happy to come home with me. I am glad that he loves his friend (and his school), but I would love for him to want to come home with me too... it makes me feel like an awful mother when he doesn't want to come home with me. And that isn't a good feeling...<br /><br />Okay... I have now written a book. I hope you enjoyed it!<br /><br />Talk with you later...<br /><br />- MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117857450870438275noreply@blogger.com
