I am not a good housewife. I mean, I like to have a clean house and I hate clutter so I guess in that sense I am better at being a homemaker than Jen is, but the reality is that I don't particularly like staying home to clean my house and make delicious meals while wearing an apron. I do, however, like controlling my kid's life. There, I said it. I like that we are the ones who decide how and when she falls asleep, how and what she eats, etc. Sure, in child care I can specify what she will eat, but they will make their own schedule. The child care provider will decide on her sleep. And that terrifies me. I am terrified that they will do CIO there.

I wish I had a job I could bring my kid to. But i know I would get nothing done, because she really is a full time job.
