No, your husband can afford all of these things. Your contribution is mindless babble, probably surrounding the current sofa selections at Pottery Barn.

I need to 'have no time". I am a total slacker if I have a few hours of free time. I was a lazy slob on my maternity leaves. I will procrastinate every chance I get. Soooo-- being busy and having structure is the best thing for me. I can be like superwoman when I have a tight schedule---it's a challenge to me. No complaints.

Why did this turn into a mom vs. mom thing?

NEITHER way is easy. There's pros and cons to both. If people are unhappy with their situation then either figure out a way to change it.. or figure out how to be happier with it.

It's not any other mom's fault that you are annoyed with THEIR life. It's their life.. not yours. So what if the laundry is piled up? As long as it's your laundry in your house it's nobody else's business. Same with the garbage as long as you haven't gone my SIL's route. (Weeks of garbage piled up, rotten food on the counter, etc.)

Some mom's put a higher priority on keeping things up. Some of us don't function well if that stuff isn't kept up. Mess and clutter bug me. (Laundry piles count as clutter around here) If necessary I would be up until 1 AM getting things done when I was a WOHM. That was my choice, it didn't mean my neighbor had to do it, too. It didn't mean she was lazy because she didn't do it. It didn't bother her. Sometimes I was jealous of that.

I am starting to find myself annoyed though at SAHMs who have children in school and still complain about not having time.


You know what, this opens you up for a good ole fashion can of whoop ass!

I am a stay at home mother of three kids. I have no children home with me all day as the youngest is in Elementary school ALL DAY.
To give you a glimpse into the day of one DC SAHM, because apparently you are clueless.

-I am up at 6:15am, I start the coffee, then start waking children. I have clothing laid out for them to get dressed. I come down and while sipping coffee I am making breakfast. NO I do not just toss cereal on the table for my kids. This morning was pancakes. I then pack two school lunches, make sure everyone has washed their faces, brushed teeth and hair and has their backpacks. Then it is off to catch the metro bus. We walk to the school from the bus stop, go to morning line up and say good bye at the classroom. I then proceed to meet with the other whining mothers who are part of the parent education committee to discuss school topics we are working on for that week. Then I walk the mile+ from school back to my house.

-I get home and it is between 9:30-10:00am. Now I am home and have the house to myself. I go head upstairs to make sure beds are made and then back down to the basement to start the first load of laundry for the day, empty the dishwasher and then check my emails. I spend about 30minutes on the computer working on my class parent responsibilities. Getting events organized, school functions and classroom news out to the rest of the families in the class. Then I go and take a shower. Now it is time to go back downstairs and get one load in the dryer and another one in the washer. I take a few minutes to get something out for dinner and plan what is for dinner. Then I go over my calendar and make/set any appointments etc that need to be made taken care of. THIS is just the morning BEFORE NOON.

-There is trash that needs to be taken out, grass that needs to be cut, or something in the yard that needs tending to. Clothes that may need mending, toys to be fixed, or a donation to be gotten together. Then I am getting a load of laundry out of the dryer to fold it and put it away and put the next in the dryer. Now I can sit and have lunch. It is about 1:00pm and I have to pick my kids up from school at 3:00pm. So I then take off and run any errands before heading to my kids school to pick them up.

-Back home by 4:00pm. We have homework, chores, reading, play dates after school activities (dance classes, etc) as well as dinner to be made and served for a family of 5. Then it is time to clean up after dinner while the kids play with Dad. Now it is time for baths pajamas teeth brushing and bedtime stories Kisses & Hugs and FINALLY I get to sit down It is 8:30-9:00pm. Oh wait I forgot to turn on the dishwasher and fold the last load of laundry in the dryer.

This is a typical day for a SAHM. So do I have at least 4 hours out of a day to myself HELL NO. Must be nice to go to work and get a break and then bash stay at home moms because YOU have guilt issues!

Give me a break. I learned a LONG time ago to NEVER pass judgment on any other mother unless I have walked in her shoes.

Ignorance is something I just do not have time for.



This post is really depressing for some reason.


Also, since WOHMs are doing what you are doing and working, you clearly could make different choices as to how to spend your time during the workday and then squeeze all of this in before and after the workday.

OK, this just has to be addressed!

I'm pretty sure that nobody here is jealous of the life that you lead. To be honest, it really doesn't sound appealing or even remotely interesting. Let's dissect if for a moment, shall we?

You are unemployed. The question is what will you do when your looks have faded and you're forced to get a job. Do you have any job experience to fall back on or a degree?

A Range Rover? Really? Is it a status symbol for you or do you actually like the vehicle? Does it get good gas mileage? When you're ass is working, that would be a good detail for you to find out.

Pilates class, shopping and lunch with your girlfriends? Can't you at least show some creativity when it comes to spending time with your friends. If I did the same thing all the time with friends, I would be so completely bored. If your not working, at least do something different! Live a little. Your life sounds like a total bore.

You're not the only woman in the world that takes her family out to eat just because she doesn't feel like cooking. I'd bet all of us do that from time to time. That doesn't make us jealous. It makes you seem petty and small.

Sex 4 times a week. Big whoop, lady. If I took a poll of all of the posters on DCUM about how many times a week they have sex and a different poll asking how many times their husbands want to have sex a week, the nuber would vary. Having sex 4 times a week is so not a big deal. I'd bet we could all have sex (at least) 7 times a week. Women decide how much sex they have, so the men pretty much take it when they can it.

Cupcake, you're life is nothing to be jealous over. You may think that it's all rainbows and sunshine right now, but the bottome has a way of falling out and then you have to learn to exist on your own. Can you do that? You seem much too dependent on your man and hopefully you won't ever have to learn to live without him. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. You need to learn to be self sufficient and be a woman who can stand on her own because right now, you sound like nothing more than a pet, depending on someone else to meet all of it's needs.

So you see, you're life is not the kind of life that makes other women jealous. I guarantee that I'm not the only woman who feels this way.

1644 poster made me so thankful that im a WOHM mom. OMG OMG. Thank god that is not my day. I will never ever complain about my dirty house; my stack of chores; my laundry--never. Im so happy to drive one hour to work because if I was to ever list making coffee as something i do in my day, i would want someone to kick me.

I agree.

LMAO...I am a SAHM and I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a day like the illiterate one. Pilates classes and lunch with friends etc. Your husband must be extremely well off so that your maid is paid to maintain your house, and the nanny who must be taking care of your kids.
