[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does being a SAHM have to do with being a control freak?[/quote]

Absolutely nothing! My SIL works full time and is a control freak. OP's just trolling SAHM for no reason.  OP, I'm sorry your sister is doing this, but it's not the end of the world. You had the $$ to give her kids gifts and she has the computer access to share their gratitude.

This is truly a First World Problem.[/quote]

OP here. I was a SAHM for years and am now a part timer.

I thought it was relevant because, for example,
I have a ton of sympathy for my coworkers (ER docs and nurses) who scramble to juggle holidays stress,
Covering vacations, out of town guests and their overnight nannies there, etc.
Working 40-60 hour work weeks does allow one to say "how am I going to get all these wreaths on the Windows" with a little more credibility versus someone who is a SAHM to 8 and 10 year olds
.
Her kids are 8 and 10, mine are the preschooler's.
It's a little much!

If your kids are preschoolers, how were you a SAHM for "years"?[/quote]

?? They are 3 and 4, almost 5, so I was home for 5 years (miscarriage, pregnancy and bedrest so stopped working 5 years ago) and have been back part tkme for almost a year. It's a hospital schedule so full time can be 3 nights, or a weekend. I am one of those odd ones who could technically be a SAHM during the week and considered a full time employee working Fri night to Sunday.
Are we good? :)
