[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s why I don’t like Facebook.

I’m a SAHM and just recently said how amazing it felt when all 3 kids were at school and the house was quiet. So I get it. I would say this to a fellow mom who has multiple kids. I would not say this to a working mom or working dad or even my husband. Although my husband loves the rare chance when I take all 3 kids out to some outing and he gets the house to himself.[/quote]
Per this thread be aware that people are judging you. If they’re at school you’re not a stay at home mom. You just stay at home.[/quote]

Judging?  It's simply reality.  If your kids are at school you aren't working actively to take care of them.  Why is this even debatable?  SAHMs with school-aged kids have about six hours a day during which they are not engaged in active caretaking. Therefore, during that time, you are just staying at home.  A SAHM with an infant, toddler or even a preschooler who's out of the house a few hours a week has a much harder job than you do.  Once your kids are in school, the need for a SAH parent is markedly reduced.  [/quote]
