On the question - "What do you dislike the most about being a mom?" I'm surprised that not one mother said she didn't like it when her child was sick. When I was a young mother that was always my bigest problem, a sick child and no one to help.
On the question "What would give you the biggest helping hand?", I certainly agree that some one to help with keeping up with cleaning the house would have been a wonderful gift to have. Great Article!
