[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My next door neighbor stays at home and has school aged children. She [b]organizes home repairs and supervises their lawn service[/b]. She shops, gardens, has friends over, goes to the gym, etc. They have a housekeeper that comes a few times per week. Her days are pretty leisurely and she seems content.

I don't resent her but do resent her "I don't know how you do it, I could never ___" comments when she sees me rushing around before/after work. Yes, I already know my life is fast paced and can be stressful, lady. You don't have to keep pointing it out. [/quote]

I never understand things like this.  How long does that objectively take?  Supervising a lawn service?  Sounds like made up BS to explain how she fills a day.[/quote]

Whoa! The next door neighbor sounds like me.  I have a leisurely life, school aged kids, and I am a SAHM.  My DH is a high earner and any amount I earn will be in a high tax bracket and I will make 1/2 of what I earn. It is not worth it for me.   I really don't know how people do it all because it is hard.  Kudos to everyone who manages to to it.  I am very impressed.  I also wish for every working woman - good health, great work environment, supportive colleagues, nice boss, being appreciated at work, time to balance other things and being well compensated.
