CHILDCARE
Don't you wish that children came into this world self-sufficient. Wouldn't it be nice if that cute little bugger would change his/her own dirty diaper, get up in the middle of the night to fix his/her own bottle, learn everything he/she needs to know by watching Saturday morning cartoons? Wouldn't it be nice if the pain of having children stopped in the delivery room?
Well, it's not going to happen. You, for whatever reason -- too much booze, too much passion, too much inattention to detail -- brought that beautiful, stubborn, persistent, aggravating little person into the world. Now everyone -- your mother, your mother-in-law, your spouse, the neighbors -- expects you to turn "it" into a well-adjusted child who gets along well with his/her peer and performs in the top 10 percentile of his/her class. Not only do they expect you to accomplish that once, they expect you to keep doing it for well over twenty years. They expect you to create a person who will go on to achieve great things in the world when he/she becomes an adult. And if you don't do the job right, everyone -- your mother, your mother-in-law, your spouse, the neighbors, the teachers, the community at large, and that child that you devoted so much care and nurturing to -- will blame you for his/her every failure. That's what you signed on for when you earned (or accidentally acquired) your motherhood badge. (Bet you wish now that you hadn't said "yes" to that handsome dude!)
Yes, you got yourself into this mess, but we're willing to help you try to figure out how to do all that is expected of you. Not alone, mind you, but with the help of the wisdom of the world wide web. Follow these links and see if you don't feel better about your motherhood skills:

BuzyMom is a website that addresses the topics mothers want to know about -- childcare, how to get a better job, how to earn more and work less, how to find time to have a rich family and romantic life and a successful career, how to save enough to retire, and how to manage it all. If you worry about it, we cover it.
We're still under construction, but we have two new pages that you should check out first. If you're thinking about a career, new or old, check Buzymom's career page. If you're just looking to get away, we have timely advice on Buzymom's travel page.
