Where do we pick up our paycheck?
These jobs change and evolve as children get older. Many stay around way past their expiration. It's a tiring, often thankless job but someone needs to do it.
I'm happy and proud to be a mom. Though through it all though there are definitely days I question it and my abilities. I wouldn't change it for anything. My children mean the world to me.
What mom jobs would you add? What ones do you enjoy and which ones could you totally do without?
I LOVE bring my kids biggest cheerleader whether it be on the sidelines of a sport/ activity or in school. Being their chauffeur and maid, not so much.

I love being a mom. I hate that I have to work full time and am away from them so much! You sound like such a good mother. :)
