[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay op - tell us, how do you fill your days? (plus what is your highest educational degree level, if at all?)[/quote]
Not OP, but this was my day today:

I’m a SAHM with a SAC

Got DD to the bus at 8:30. Came home, made beds and tidied up, and then went for a run. Got back, showered, sat down to have coffee and breakfast and catch up on some news and check emails, etc.

Turned on a podcast and cleaned the bathrooms. Put away some laundry. After that, I drove to pick up something I bought on a mom2mom site, went to the post office to throw some cards in the mail, then went to Costco.

Came home, put away the things from Costco, and then ate lunch. After lunch, I went outside and cleaned up some yard debris for garbage day tomorrow. I came inside, put on another podcast and prepped a casserole for dinner. I then cleaned the kitchen.

Next, I sat down to watch a 30min episode of a Netflix show, and then left for school pickup at 3:45.

I have a BA and I’m happier at home than I ever was at work. I’m never bored. I find ways to fill my day. Sometimes with mundane tasks, always with exercise, and always with either a book or some other literature, or interesting podcast.[/quote]
 I am beginning to understand why 30 years of this would make someone has unintelligent as my MIL. You are just taking up space. [/quote]
I know I should’t feed the troll, but I’ll bite.

I don’t feel I’m “just taking up space”, and that’s a pretty cruel thing to say to anyone. My husband doesn’t think I’m “just taking up space”, and neither does my DD. Most importantly, I feel very fulfilled in life. I don’t have to explain myself to you, but your comment is mean spirited and may be hurtful to someone else who may not be as contented or happy as me.

Ladies, you are not just taking up space. You serve an important purpose in your family, even if you are misunderstood by others. If you’re happy, good for you! If you aren’t happy or this wasn’t your choice and you feel trapped, I encourage you to find a niche in something meaningful to you.

Why can’t we all just accept others for what they are?[/quote]
Clearly, I hit a nerve. The truth often does.[/quote]
