It is nice to see that I am not the only one that deals with the struggles of balancing work and a family. I get so caught up in what needs to be done at my business that I sometimes forget the family things that need to be done. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I thought that way before I had kids too…when you are trying to work, be a good mom and manage a household you'll do whatever it takes to make your kids happy and feel good. McDonalds and a hotel never killed anyone…

Oh Dan, Dan, Dan. Check in with us in 3 years and let us know how it's going when your child is mobile, and verbal, and headstrong, and you are tuckered out beyond your imagination. Or at least your wife is.

Why is your son sleeping in your bed at 3 years old? Our daughter is 12 days and she's in her own basonette and will soon be in her own crib, in her room.

No wonder they have so much anxiety, you are really doing THEM a big disservice by sleeping in the same bed, my God. Do you need super nanny?

I love the honesty of this post. But darling, violins can be rented (especially helpful when one's kid needs to move from 1/2 to 3/4 to full). And old violins and other stuff can be sold for $ to pay for the lights (yay house manager, give her the task). I especially appreciate the "you forget more than any other mommy". I suspect we all get that from the little buggers (at least I do).

Don't worry about the kids. I lost my car and everything I owned. I moved my familiy into government housing. Guess what, my kids (now in high school & college) frequently refer to the 'good old days' when they used to ride the city bus and walk everywhere. They laugh about the tinfoil on the TV rabbit ears, they joke about ketchup soup and thrift store clothes. If there is one thing I can promise you, kids love you, not your money.

Hilarious. I forwarded this article to my friends. Finding the balance is so tough. I got my graduate degree at Saint Leo while I was working full time and taking care of my family. It was definitely a juggle but I managed. Even though I'm sure my family felt neglected. Not that I graduated though I can make it up to them :)

You crack me up. I love laughing at myself and you take it to a higher level Penelope! I really look forward to reading your updates – so great to laugh at it all than to whine and get depressed. Makes it more manageable I guess. Thanks!!!!
