I have had the incredible fortune to be a full-time mom for 14 years. So rewarding, heart-warming, and delightful most of the time. At other times, frustrating and mind-numbingly tedious, depending on the day or the moment. Exactly like any other job I’ve ever had (although, honestly, higher highs and lower lows in the mom world... Also, very poor pay scale and vacation package). If you’ve been there, I don’t have to explain.
