[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a mom and I work. I find ANYONE who complains a lot about how busy they are to be incredibly annoying. I find it's usually a way for people to brag about "how much" they are doing to inflate their own sense of self importance. The SAHM's who are "so busy they don't have time to breathe" are the equivalent of office workers who have "so many important things to do" they are frantically running around, working late etc, trying to show how much harder they're working than everyone else. I don't think this is a contest between working moms and stay at home moms...this is more a question of annoying people versus non annoying people. [/quote]

Same here. In this area especially, everyone says they are sooooo busy. It’s like a contest for who is busiest and it’s stupid.[/quote]

SAHM of 3 here. I often say I’m tired and say I feel busy. I’m sorry if this bothers you.

DH is a surgeon and never says he is tired although he works long hours operating on people.

I think it is just small talk.

How are you?
I’m tired. My toddler is sick and hasn’t been sleeping well.

How are the kids?
We are so busy. I am dreading soccer and having to go to soccer 5x per week.

Really don’t think it is a competition of who is busier.[/quote]
