[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get SAHM's of kids that age, especially when there's only 2 kids and not a whole brood.  What do you do all day?

I was a SAHM for 3 years (from when my DD was 1 until she was 4 & DS was birth-2 years) and even with little kids it was hard to fill my days completely each day.

Maybe you do TOO much for them and leave them nothing to do, which creates this lack of appreciation.  They don't have to work to receive or accomplish anything in the home.

I'm sure between going to the gym, grabbing coffee, running an errand to fill out some fancy recipe, and endless rr-decorating she keeps herself busy, but she need to realize she essentially retired at 35. [/quote]

I can't stand women like you. I SAH with now teen kids because my husband travels all the time, I have two special needs kids, we have aging parents who need a lot of assistance. Got it? [/quote]

Feeling is pretty mutual, lady.  I can't stand a SAHM with an attitude like yours, who thinks just because she has older parents and SN kids that her life is so much harder.  I work 60 hrs/week and DH works 40-50 hrs/week depending on his shift (federal agent) plus travels frequently for training, etc.  Yet, our house still runs smoothly with two teens and they aren't unappreciative.  It ran smoothly when we had two little kids.  We learned to prioritize and utilize our time wisely.  Dinner is always cooked at home, except for Friday, which is  our traditional take out night.  Laundry is done.  House is cleaned.  Groceries are purchased.  Know how it runs smoothly?  Because we give our kids chores to do to contribute to the household.
