SAHMs, why don't you leave the house?

Because I really wonder what you do inside your house for 6 months.

Because my son would love someone to play with on the playground.

Because I’d love someone to join me on a walk instead of canceling because it isn’t 70*.

i have a humongous fenced in backyard with a beautiful playset and other outdoor activities for kids. We also have an almost tiny house built like a kid's playhouse with ac/heat and functioning bathroom and kitchen in it too. My friends/neighbors/family and their kids come over and we gave a great time.

Live and let live. Some of us prefer being indoors when it’s cold and some people don’t mind the cold. That’s life we don’t all have to like or do the same things.

Um, not the Scandinavian parents and their children. Google it.

They don’t have any choice. I just prefer to be out when it’s warmer and luckily live in an area where I can do just that.

Or, there is more to the story but nothing I'd tell a stranger. Want to meet them and you know they are home, reach out and say hello.

I’m sorry you have wussy friends, OP.

Because sometimes I don't feel like going outdoors and being around other sahms. Most of the moms are old as fun** here and they give me the side eye or assume I am a nanny.

People thought the weather this morning was too cold? Get real. Put a coat on.

It baffles me how many people do not leave the house. Or, won't leave the house unless it is over 50*.

So, what do you do?

We don’t go outside unless it is over 50. Frankly I hate being cold. But, we have a routine that gets us out of the house from 8:50-11:15 7 days per week. We go to library storytimes, indoor playrooms, children’s museum, play dates, etc. People have different ways of managing the time with kids. Going outside in the cold would make me miserable. When I was a teacher, recess duty was my least favorite part of the week.

How do you they don’t leave the house? My park is often parked in the driveway, but we go on walks. We go out early in the morning for breakfast and the playground or errands. But we are always back for lunch and nap. By 3 or 4pm, I’m busy. It’s trafficky and I need to start thinking about dinner and tidying the house.

Just because I didn’t post about it on Facebook doesn’t mean I didn’t leave the house. I also don’t tell you about the cool outings we’ve been taking lately because I don’t want to have to invite you. I’ve been distancing myself from you recently because you do a LOT of judging.

Gross, OP. MYOB.

Because I invite people to the park/hike and they say no, maybe when it’s warmer (6 months goes by...)

Because today, a warm day, I saw 3 mothers with toddlers and strollers walk by. Where have they been?!?

We have plenty of friends who join us outside, and neighborhood friends too who have played outside on cold days.

I can’t ask the woman who walked by “where have you been?!”, so I’m asking here.

Wow ok, it’s just a question. Chill.

Put on a fleece underneath for colder days and this is all that's needed to spend the day outside, rain or shine!
