[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM you don't want to know how I spend my days. Just very slowly. I only do things I like and feel like doing. It is a surprise to me when I have to rush. Don't like to so I take it easy. Spend a lot of time on vacation and at the beach, with my family and riding my horse. Takes a lot of time to do these things at a leisurely pace. Worry about money, no not so much. Our equity just keep growing. Lots of hobbies and I sculpt. Love to cook.[/quote] I'm the one that told people to "own it". Honestly, this is the type of SAHM I like. Keeping up her interests, not complaining about how hard her life is compared to everyone else. It's the kind of WOHM I like, too! And, yes, we all Parent our children. The thing I hate the most is when a SAHM says something like "My job is TWENTY-FOUR HOURS!".....because working Moms don't come home to children and have Parenting also. We *all* work 24 hours. And we should *all* be taking time for ourselves in order to remain interesting people. And, lady, you had 5 kids. I will assume with you either planned them or were dumb about birth control while satisfying your wonderful sex life. I don't feel bad for you. Yes, most people don't have 5 kids. In any case, the thread topic is just asking if you're worried about your finances, really. [/quote] New poster from above again, you sound a little bitter, but I will not judge. I am, like you, a working mother, but you put out there the fallacy that most SAHMs are enjoying the good life at the gym, the mall, and the board or bored lunches every day. That is simply not true, many are, but most American SAHMs enjoy far from the easy life you envision. The previous SAHM, it seems to me, was just setting you and us straight, by saying essentially, hey, every minute of my day is occupied by work also. In fact, you are the one imputing laziness to her. You also disparage her for not remaining interesting, but by the way, she mentioned that she does take time to better herself also through exercise, reading, and walks and time with her spouse. Again, I will not judge you because I know how hard we working mothers have it, but you seem to be the one critical of stay at home mothers, and not the other way around.[/quote]
