My DH does the parenting when he is here, but when he is at work I have SS6 from 8am until 530pm but I get a break while he is in school from 1245-345pm but other then that I have him EVERYDAY. I am not sure how this will change when his mom is done with cosmetology school in May, but I can't wait. I have been thinking about summer though, and if it's anything like last year I will go insane. I was stuck in my home because I had my daughter in June 2010 and SS6 and SD8 were outta school. I couldn't exactly take a newborn to the pool, and even if I could I didn't have the strength. So I had a lot of whiny skids saying "we're bored" my skids have a whole room in the basement that is the size of a huge living room as their toy room for crying out loud! Plus the one time I went out to my friends house to visit and see her baby, SD8's BM called me to say she was on her way,(early) to get SD8. I said okay but we are not home so either wait in my driveway til I get there or come back at the time u said u were gonna get her. I AM NOT A DAYCARE! I do not have to stay at home "waiting" for BMs to come get their damn kids!
