[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh really ? You've never heard a SAHM say to a WOHM at preschool dropoff, "It must be so hard to work when you have small children"?  My response was, "No, actually, it's not because I'm high energy and organized."[/quote]

What an annoying response.  Do you need to imply an insult to SAHMs in your response?   I would never assume that "It must be so hard to work when you have small children" is an insult - my SIL has said that to me and I took it as a compliment - like, "wow, you have your act together, way to rise up to the challenge."

I think the top poster just wants to hear "YOU are so much better than I am" from the SAHM.  That is the only thing that will satisfy someone like the top poster.

It's great that you are high energy and organized.... hooray for you.  Are you seriously telling the rest of us that it ISN'T hard to be commuting and working away from home for at least 50 hrs a week AND manage/love/nurture small children in the remaining waking hours of the day?  Seriously?

Why are you so defensive and cold that you kick someone who is trying to sympathize with the challenges you (or at least most working moms) face?  Looking for fights much?

(A WashPo article a few years back said that 80% of working mothers worry about not having enough time at home, while almost none of the working fathers worried about it!) [/quote]
