I would want to scream, "I WANT to be here with my kids! I WANT to help serve lunch! I WANT to hang around after drop-off and gossip and drink coffee with all the other moms!" *sigh* Just my place in life, I guess.

BUT my friends who are SAHMS do the school stuff and while the dads show up for the big things-- concerts, presentations, picnics, etc-- they are not typically part of the day-to-day. To be honest, I don't think it bothers them. If I were you, I would let it go and figure your husband has it, KWIM?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270389106604867450noreply@blogger.com
