It helps to know that I am not alone in feeling this way. In so many ways, this decision has helped our family. I can't help but feel like I gave up a little bit of being "Mommy" in order to make that work. That smarts a bit. I wish you all the best as you move forward with your decision on adding to your family. It isn't easy, but know that you will always be ever so much more than the "incubator" and "milk provider!" All the best to your and your family!dr. whoo?http://www.blogger.com/profile/10315615480530297472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-88971150148581272562009-05-24T21:45:08.134-04:002009-05-24T21:45:08.134-04:00Dr. Whoo,<br /><br />I feel your post. My husband is also a SAHD, a change that made our life as a family so much more manageable. He has struggled on and off with his role, and lack of breadwinning, but in a lot of ways it has been good for him too.<br /><br />I also feel like the 50s dad...not remembering the kids dentist appts, or not knowing how many eggs we have in the house, working my behind off when at work, racing home to be with everyone and sometimes finding myself so exhausted that I can't enjoy the home time I so crave.<br /><br />We are entertaining the thought of another child, and I find myself in the role of surrogate mother. I would be the incubator, and then the milk provider, but he'll be the one with the day to day responsibility. It's alot to ask, and a lot to give up.<br /><br />SmakDr. Smakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11578423336319528698noreply@blogger.com
