Confessions

Another Zumbamama fan here - I love your style and your posts!

Ignore the haters. I think you are laid back and non-judgmental and I bet if we met in real life we'd be friends.

That's not a confession, that's a good idea!

This was back in the day, when I used to sneak out of my room to go party at the Georgetown clubs and dance all night on a school night. Those were the days!

Z-mom you rock-I'm glad you have no time for the haters-Mario Lopez, that's hysterical. Who would have thought some nerd on SavedByTheBell would become a sex symbol? You go girl!!!

I wonder why some moms had kids. You work 10 hour days and see your kids on the weekends only. Unless you absolutely HAVE to be working to survive then it seems sort of odd to have kids when your career 100% comes first. And I hate it when moms say they wouldnt work if they could afford not to. Then they send their kids to private schools and have nice cars/houses. If you gave up some of those things you COULD stay home. Just admit it that you dont like being a mom that much and move on.

Cant wait to see how these poor little kids end up now that so many of them are raised by West African nannies all day!!

The majority look bored and checked out even though they think they are projecting the perfect happy SAHM imagine.

I don't feel bad for them when their husbands are asking what are they dong all day...I wonder the same thing. Their houses are a mess and their kids are not well behaved and the are mostly running around to moms groups and classes so they can avoid actually having one on one interaction with their child.

I don't feel bad when their husbands of 10+ years cheat or leave them. What do they expect? They spend 10 years going to mom's groups and PTAs and gossiping and worrying about mommy drama. Do you really think your husband gives a crap about that shit? They are bored senseless by it and see you a boring blob after a while of listening to you complain about it and couple that with the only other conversation you can come up with is the litany of activities you are enrolling junior in this year.

I can and do "do it all". Work as a successful professional, keep a nice house, cook meals, have a happy family, have well behaved children. If I can do it, I expect others to be able to do it.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO ALL DAY??? You have never done it! You outsource all of your childrearing to low-income women and you call yourself a PARENT!!! You are a career person who has kids on the weekend. You are a part-time mother who has no clue what goes into raising a kid. I agree with PP that some working mothers are assholes to even have kids if they are repulsed by their company for more than a few afternoons a week!!

Yuck, you are nasty (and I am not a SAHM).

I am a stay-at-home mother and I am in AWESOME shape because I have time to exercise. Does your husband tell you that you look like a 20-something? Does your ass have no cellulite? Mine doesn't! Take you frumpy dimpled ass to your job and I will sit here looking HOT.

I'm a nanny and sometimes I feel exactly the same way-we're not supposed to judge the families we work for yet we do it all the time, but what's up with the "West African nannies" comment? Did you just mean to say nannies?

I love West Africans--my dad is from Africa, actually. I am just using that nationality as an example. No offense! Nannies bring a lot to kids' lives (I was an au pair for 2 years!) and can be wonderful. But the system is so weird. DC mom goes to work, hires nanny to raise kids; nanny leaves her own kids home with who? in-laws, relatives, suboptimal daycare....
Sort of sad.

I agree w/this first post except i think there are lots of moms who love their careers and their kids. So they make it work by doing part-time or flex schedule or taking a year off or whatever. I think it's great when moms work. But i dont think it is cool to have kids and never see them. If you cant scale back career until your kids are in school 9-3pm then why have kids???
