When Having Kids Consumes You

Parenthood: Has Having Kids Consumed Your Life?

October 6, 2010

Is it possible for parents' lives to not be consumed by their children? Last night on Parenthood, Joel has a hard time seeing beyond his life as a stay-at-home dad when it is time to showcase a hobby at Sydney's school. While he frets over something to wow the crowd, Kristina worries that she and Adam are losing their relationship to the stresses of their daily commitments. Do you find yourself in a similar situation?

My kiddos are a huuuge part of my life, but not so much that I've lost all my hobbies... that being said, none of my hobbies would wow anyone, haha. I'm a geek!

Part of having kids is RAISING your kids. This is a double full time job for every kid! If you think that kids are not going to consume your life, you're in for a surprise. That doesn't mean that you can't still be you and do things that you love that have nothing to do with your kids, but raising kids well is a huge job. It takes a lot of time and energy and resources to do.

Yes, right now, absolutely. I have been a stay-at-home-mom for the last year. I don't think there's much you can do about it. I will start school again soon, though. So that's about to change! Yay!
