[quote=Anonymous]I own a business and my mom asks me about it as if it was a hobby. My siblings work in offices at traditional companies. Because I don't have a boss and don't work in an office building, I don't "really" work, although I see clients 7 days a week, most weeks. I have to see clients when they can see me, so not a traditional 9-5 work situation. It's frustrating and demeaning, but I am so used to it now. DH is highly successful in his field, he owns his own firm and my parents see his job as traditional/normal but he works from home when he isn't at client sites. It's hilarious to me that we aren't seen by my mom through the same lens. On the other hand, DH's mother and sister ask me whenever I see them if I am working and how much. They don't want me 'slacking' off and being a SAHM. It's so crazy, that it's funny to me. DH doesn't care whether I am SAHM or working mom. SMH at them.[/quote]
