I have to agree with you. This isn't a brand new mom if there is a 3 year old and a teenager in the house to help. I also don't the attitude that if the...
Hi goincraz1, if the situation is exactly what you described, I believe I'll have to agree with Jeanne. The husband is home, and I assume he is off of work...
