[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally it doesn't bother me. What does bother me is when I hear SAHMs who have kids in preschool or other full-time educational settings and don't have unusual other commitments talk about how hard their lives are.

Yes, it's difficult taking care of young kids all day. No, it's not reasonable to draw an equivalency between working FT and having kids and staying at home while your kids are in school.

It's fine to say "hey, my life is easier than others and I'm grateful for that." The suffering Olympics is tiresome. [/quote]

People like that suck because they suck, separate from their choice to SAH.  Honestly, there are a lot of complainers out there, and the “woe is me” attitude is found among all types (including PLENTY who don’t have kids at all!)[/quote]

Yeah, some people can do everything without breaking a sweat and some people are just exhausted by the basics of life. I'm a WOHM who was more in category 1 until I got pregnant at the same time they closed down my metro lines, now just getting to work, dr's appointments, etc. Is this big freaking deal. I can totally see getting stressed out by shuttling kids to a bunch of sports and enrichment stuff and being expected to deal with all the housework (which is generally more on a Rahm's plate).[/quote]
