[quote=Anonymous]I am a sahm. I hope I don't complain about being too busy but I do have randomly busy weekends or weeks here and there. Of course those might be the times people need more from me and I have to say I'm busy. I know it sounds awful since I don't work but I do try to help out and say yes whenever I can. I've offered and covered for child care or pick ups at almost every request unless I'm out of town. It really isn't requested that often at all and I never mind it.

I have heard people say wohms think it's a dig to say "I don't know how you do it all" so I've never said it but I feel that way and I think it daily. I marvel that they get way more done than me on a daily basis. I am building a house, my kids are in extracurriculars, I'm planning for summer, volunteering and preparing to move but I know many wohms who have done the same while working and to me it's been a bit overwhelming. I always see the posts complaining about sahms here and I just wish I lived somewhere where sahms were more common to even have a sense of stereotyping them, it's very rare in my area. Everyone works and I feel like I have to almost apologize for not working also.[/quote]
