imo this is about a mother who isn't sure she wants a family but has one anyway
she misses them when they're not around but they make her crazy when they are (She don't want nobody home Cause it's a little too crowded then But she don't want to be alone - Pretty soon they've got her headed for the door She comes home to find that they're not hanging 'round no more)
when she's trying to be a good mother she makes them crazy too (Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call)
she's struggling with being a good mother but is only partially successful in small doses.her feelings get hurt and she tries to cover it by blowing it off (She says "I'm ok, it's alright, hey look who's on TV tonight")
finally, she just leaves (She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight")
