Join our Dallas Parenting Group this spring. We will meet weekly for 10 weeks beginning Monday, February 8, 2010.

I speak frequently with stay at home moms who marvel at how little they get done in a day, a week, a semester.  It seems the laundry piles up and the dishes always need to be done.  Even more, it seems these formerly mindless and easy tasks take so much energy.  I heard one mom marvel at how quickly people without children got in and out of their cars: “How come I can easily kill nearly 10 minutes getting in the car and at least another 5 getting out of the car!!  No wonder I rarely make it somewhere on time!!” 

I’ve heard from moms who were MDs, attorneys, accountants, teachers, nurses, and various other professions who are amazed at how tired they feel and when they look around how little they accomplish. Have you had thoughts like this and been embarrassed to share them out loud?  Maybe you even think feeling frustrated or overwhelmed seems indulgent given the many blessings in your life (the ability to stay home or the blessing of you healthy children).

I believe we all need support in whatever it is we embark on in life.  That is one significant reason so many people marry!  So for any stay at home mom who loved her former identity of a hard working, high achieving professional, I ask you who your current co-workers are?  Who sends you emails to applaud your accomplishments?  If you are looking for co-workers in this all important job of motherhood… join us! Let us help you find outlets in your life that will allow your personality to thrive and thus your children to thrive in your care.
