Why are all the SAHMs I know fat?

[Anonymous]

I work, but have the luxury to go to the gym in the middle of the day. There are a lot of (presumably) SAHMs who work out there as well with their kids at the gym daycare and these women are all in amazing shape. I have no idea what the OP is talking about. Many SAHMs that I know or that I see spend an hour or two a day at the gym and they look AWESOME, except for a small minority who too thin and sickly and appear to have eating disorders.

I'm a SAHM, know lots of them, and we're all skinny- like so skinny you'd be jealous. And we're all super fit. And fabulous. 6-pack abs.

WOHM, I'm so tired and annoyed at people being insulting toward SAHM. Its degrading to all women. If someone can stay at home more power to them. Instead of being condescending and awful, how about doing something like working to improve the laws so that there's more support for women to stay with their kids longer before returning to work. My job might be great in multiple ways and my nanny fantastic...but the truth is I wish I could spend more time w my kids and I wish it was at least an option.

i'm a size 8 and about 5'7" and I'm the heaviest of all my SAHM friends in NW DC. Everyone I knows goes to the gym daily (they might SAH but they all have sitters as well).

I'm a SAHM with a 3 m.o. who lost all her baby weight within two weeks of delivery and was back running at the gym at three weeks p.p. I get up at 5:00 every morning before my son so I can go to the gym and get in my hour of exercise. I'm 5' 10" and weigh 138; 160 at 9 months pregnant.

Perhaps, OP, you are in fact a fata$& yourself and need a boost by trying to make others feel bad about themselves. Suck on those apples you bully.

At the risk of feeding the troll but with the honorable intention of ending all of this, let's just all agree on the facts: SAHMs are all fat, lazy, boring women and are really just prostitutes calling themselves wives. WOHMs are all snotty, super thin (but with really big buts) who farm out their kids to strangers in pursuit of the all mighty dollar while maintaining an annoying superior attitude towards SAHMs. BTW, everybody else sucks too. Now can we get back to the important threads about muggers beating up the elderly and the difficulties of scraping by on a 250k HHI?

ALL, well most of the "office-working" moms I know have really fat butts. I guess too much sitting in the office chair and not enough chasing after their children at the playground. They probably don't bring healthy lunches to work either. I would be pretty annoyed if I was a husband that my wife can't figure out how to take care of herself, but manages to go back to work.

I am a WOHM with a fat ass. I "managed" to go back to work for the same reason my DH works - to put a roof over our heads, and food in our mouths. Without my paycheck, our family would be homeless.

I leave the house at 7AM and return at 6PM, five days a week. I "manage" to find time to "take care of myself" (exercise) here and there but not consistently. Hence, my fat butt.

My DH isn't annoyed at all. On the contrary, he is grateful for, and proud of his hard-working wife.

Amen. LOL @ the poster you quoted - let me guess, she's completely supported by DH's income.

I completely read the quoted poster as satire.

Um, yeah. Why are ALL the WOHMs too dumb to understand parody?

SAHMs are fat because when WOHMs collapse in an overextended, guilt-ridden heap, the SAHMs eat them.

You have any idea how many calories are in a single WOHM?

Are you the same OP who started the "You caught my eye" thread? Because you sound just as unkind.

People are fat because they take in more calories than they expend. It doesn't take a genius to figure out. You are just being mean.

If lower income people tend to be overweight more often, then wouldn't it make more sense that sahm are thinner, in general?

I pointed out before that this totally depends on what part of the country you're discussing. In Bethesda, the Upper East Side, Cleveland Park and Medina, WA outside of Seattle, the SAHMs are going to be the women in the -highest- income brackets. And surprise, these are not the fat chicks. In rural north Arkansas, the SAHMs are not in the highest brackets and are some of the poorest women in the US. They might be the same people you reference above.

New poster. Agree. The SAHMs in my neighborhood are bone thin and pretty fabulous looking - and they work hard at it. Lots of time spent at Sports Club LA and at the clubs playing tennis.
