[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you thought about the reality of sahm vs the fantasy of it?

Fantasy: Lunch at pain quotidien with your girlfriends and maybe a nice bikram yoga after
Reality: cold cuts at home. Voga is moving dishes to dishwasher.

Fantasy: Tuesday my gym play dates with DS best friends followed by ice cream at the park
Reality: my gym is too expensive, play date at the public park, ice cream truck becomes a nuisance

Fantasy: rock solid ass toned from jogging around in stroller with DS
Reality: exhausted after 3 loads of laundry, cleaning house and chasing kid around. Ass still big.

Fantasy: drop kid off at play based schooling 2x a week. Enjoy a margarita with bff then home for a quick shower and masterbation sash before heading back to pick up kid 
Reality: can't afford play based schooling. Decide on chipotle. Masterbation sounds tiring. Maybe watch hgtv instead.

My reality as a SAHM is:
Lunch out with girlfriends at least once or twice a week.
I belong to a gym that has childcare and I do workouts with friends.
I'm fit and in shape due to above.
Children spend time in school each week and I spend the time however I like. 
I guess I'm living your fantasy life.
