SAHMs: Stop complaining to me about how busy you are

[Anonymous]

Wonderful that you can stay at home. Wonderful that you have that choice. I'm sure you keep yourself busy. But...I do everything you do, and work full time (including volunteering at the school by rationing time off). I respect you and your choice but DO NOT complain to me about how busy you are. Thank you.

Are we seriously doing this again? Really? Aren't there other currently active mommy wars threads?

Well thank goodness we didn’t have to wait too long to have another WOHM vs. SAHM thread. Hey OP, I do all you do with a deployed spouse and a child with SN. Don’t you dare complain about how busy you are.

[Anonymous]

Oh please. Do you use daycare/nanny? Then you are not doing everything a SAHM is doing. You must be a troll to start this again.

[Anonymous]

I WAH AND do childcare. Do I trump you, OP, as I apparently actually “do it all”?

Go away. Run your family, and leave others alone.

I’m a SAHM and have never made this complaint to anyone, ever, including when I was working PT and taking my SN kid for tons of therapies. I can’t picture any other SAHM complaining like that, OP.

Don’t hate me cuz ya’ ain’t me.

[Anonymous]

Um, you aren't THAT busy if you have time to beat dead horses on DCUM.

-WOHM livin' my life and not caring about yours

You can complain to me! There's not enough hours in the day for any of us!

My retired mother complains about being too busy all the time. I think people who do this are doing it for attention. Ignore.

[Anonymous]

Bye troll!

So your philosophy is never complain because someone out there always has it worse than you. That's an admirable way to live. I trust you never talk about being busy, because some women are single moms and do all of what you do, without a spouse. And care for their elderly parents. But by your logic, even those women shouldn't ever mention how busy they are, because somewhere, a single parent working full time, taking care of elderly parents also has cancer herself.

Not disrespecting your choice...just saying please don't complain to me about how busy you are. My kids are school age, so all of us have child care during the school day. I come home and finish working at home with my kids at home. No nanny. One SAHM could not believe I have to go grocery shopping on the weekends.
