[quote=Anonymous]I had a chat with a SAHM friend yesterday and she told me "I'm a SAHM and I love it!" after we discussed the pandemic, WFH, dealing with social distancing (and people's different levels of comfort with that), and if I was really struggling I think that would have landed wrong and sounded smug. But I feel like she's just really grateful for her set up. I remember right after I had my baby she was so helpful to me but also said a few things that bordered on defensive, like she thought I might think her staying at home wasn't impressive or we wouldn't have anything in common or something. I don't think any of that, but it informed my not being bothered by her "I love it" comment - if she's felt like people have been looking down on her for staying home then this is the payoff. Now the sacrifice she made in the beginning has huge dividends for her family. [/quote]
