Don't you people have friends in real life who live in different situations and make different choices? I even have some - gasp! - single and/or childless friends! It takes all kinds.

IDK. If you have money and brains and don't need to take care of your kids all day because they are in school, but all you can come up with to fill your time is shopping, exercising, grooming, eating, and tidying--you just can't be a very interesting person. There are so many amazing women out there -- some who work for pay, some who don't -- who do so many amazing things. Most of what people have described on this thread is astonishingly limited for a bunch of people who don't seem to have physical, intellectual, or financial limitations on their potential.

Well said. I would off myself if I were in my 30s and still had 2/3s of my life left doing nothing. No wonder so many are in anti-depressants.

Yeah, I don't know what I think is worse about you- the fact that you are making light of mental health issues and suicide, or that you are so sickly obsessed with stay at home moms that you are posting, off topic of course, in a thread called "Typical SAHM with school aged kids day" when you have nothing of value to contribute, and all you intend to do is cut other people down because they live a different lifestyle than you do. There's so much about you that sucks... But I guess you're life is so much more interesting and fulfilling than a stay at home mom's is, right? Psh......

Why are WOHMs so obsessed with the dull, boring, neurotic, doormat SAHMs? They should try and take care of their own families, spend time with their kids, maybe fuck their DH now and then, instead of wasting their time.

C'mon, overachiever WOHMS! Tick-tock, times-a-wasting. Go on, hug your child, fuck your DH, clean your house! Come on...you can do it!!

I think it is a sport. It's fun to see how these women get so crazy in response.

I believe this same person pops up in every SAHM thread. Their posts all have the same desperate and obsessive tone.

I did all those things tonight - after working a full day. I know, it's hard to see others achieving things you can't.

What I learned in this thread.

Troll WOHMs posing as SAHMs are obvious.

Actual SAHMs give examples of their day. Say they respect WOHMs and wish their choice would be respected too.

One crazy/rude SAHM who is coddling her "high achieving" teens and making herself look like an idiot with every post she makes.

A few WOHMs who are secure enough to agree and say they see the value in everyone choosing their own fulfillment in life.

Desperate WOHMs who feel they must make wild assumptions about and trivialize the lives of SAHMs to feel secure about their own choices.

So pretty much what every SAHM vs WOHM thread ends up being.

But add a paycheck on top of that, no matter the job, and all of a sudden someone's interesting? Come on. Being boring or having no interesting hobbies has NOTHING to do with whether someone works outside the home. By all means, though, ignore everything that doesn't fit with your biases.

I don't want to achieve working a full day at the same place day after day. And that is completely okay. Just as your choice to do so is. I still work a full day just get "paid" differently than you. Not everything of value is monetary.

Most SAHMs in this thread volunteer (school/church/charity) and pursue outside interests including furthering their education. With exception of the obvious troll posts none have posted "I groom, eat, tidy and shop all day."

I think a lot of recent posters here have missed that point.

"Can't" is different from "don't want to."

If you paid attention and put down your defensiveness, you would see that that poster said she respects some women who work for pay and some who don't. It has to do with how they fill the rest of their time. That is the point you obviously missed.

Yeah - I'd kill myself if the only thing I considered worthwhile was work. Fortunately, there is way more to life than work - or kids.

WAHMs who continue to post things like "LOL you do nothing all day but eat bon bons and I do all that AND work full time" come off as bitter and jealous. Whether that is their intention or not. Whether that is true or not.

That is how it comes off. Straight up bittercakes.
