The Responsibility Project

1. teasing

   I was teasing when I said that Nikki drills ABC's all day. I really, really was. I realize that she does much more than that. I KNOW. It really amazes me all that she does with my boys -- things I could never do. She has the patience of Job, and really challenges the boys to be better people. I'm amazed every day at the things she does with my boys. I don't have half her creativity or knowledge about kids. I want you guys to know that I was NOT trying to diminish what SAHMs do. I actually didn't choose to have my boys. They were all surprises (even while I was on BC). But I decided to keep them because their father and I love them. I can give them a good life. I teach them, read to them, play with them, cook with them. But I have to admit -- I like working. When I was a SAHM, I wound up clinically depressed. Not just because of staying home. But it contributed. So I did what was best for my boys and got someone who can do things like salt dough crafts (which I had no idea how to do before Nikki showed me). My boys have learned more and met more people with Nikki than they ever did with me. And I am able to carry on what she starts.
