How stupid she is. I have had three young children and there's no helper except for the first month when my mom was with us. I totally enjoy being with my children. So I stayed at home with them, one by one, for ten years, until they were old enough to go to preschool/daycare. It's very natural for a mother to be alone with a baby. If there's nothing else in between them it's very easy. Everyday there was a flow between my baby and me, waking up, feeding, napping, playing, going to bed again. It was such a good time in my life I totally miss it! If not for making money, I'd never go to work again. But my babies have outgrown their sweet baby and toddler stages and it's time for me to start making money for them and I did it. Alas! My days with them were so full of joy.
