[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I get what you are talking about.  My DD is 10 now.  I can only think of 1 working mom who ever played the I'm-THE-busiest-mom-ever game.  It's usually a stay at home mom thing, but only the fragile ego, narcisstic ones.  I've also noticed the I-work-so-much-harder-than-you-despite-being-unemployed moms also tend to get defensive and snippy about lots of other things.  At this point, when I hear this speak from those ladies, I run.  Red flag red flag take cover!  I want mom buddies who lift me up, not seek to step on me.[/quote]

Way to go! I’m a SAHM and have never claimed to be busy to anyone, even when I was taking my DC for the therapies for a lifelong SN. Instead, I’ve gotten to field many, many comments about how busy other moms are, comments about how “they wish” they could look up recipes and cook from scratch or exercise, immediately after directly asking me what I’m making for dinner or that I look good, am I working out? Must be nice! I’ve smiled past a lot of nasty, so I know your type. It’s fun being “unemployed,” I guess every person in any form of childcare is about to be mega-screwed when they try to file in a week.

You don’t actually know what other people are going through and I’m so goddamned sick of the SAHM bashing, as much as I’m sick of the overall mom bashing and competitiveness. It’s so shitty. I have never made that kind of comment, here or offline. Why do it?

You really think you’re someone who lifts people up. But you aren’t.[/quote]
