[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I don't WANT to do any of those things but I do them anyways.
It's 950 am, I have a 2 and 4 year old. So far (since 630 am)
I have
Gotten them up, dressed, fed, changed and trimmed both of their hair, cut nails
Played outside for 30 minutes digging in their little garden. Cleaned them up from that 
Put laundry in, folded and put away laundry
Prepped food and put in crockpot for dinner 
Did 3 puzzles, practiced writing and reading 3 letter words with older one, DEF with younger one (tracing) and counting. Older child now sitting and doing number stickers (on his pants) 
Do I pass?[/quote]

I did all that too and I work. [/quote]

You did not do all that with your kids before work, get real. [/quote]

It's a holiday.  Of course I didn't do literally the same thing, but I did the equivalent and got some work done, also.  So sick of the SAHM  martyr card.  It just is not. that. hard.[/quote]

Same goes for the WOHM card. Sitting in an office, getting a lunch break, chatting with adults, and all they have to do is handle dinner and bedtime! [/quote]

While I do bring in half the income of our family, my job doesn't give me enough to pay for a driver to afterschool programs, a daily tutor and coach to help with homework and studying and teach them new tasks, a maid to clean up and do laundry, a cook, a personal shopper, and a financial planner. BTW, I haven't taken a lunch break beyond checking dcum for 10 minutes till before kids.[/quote]

Well you just proved exactly my point- for as often as the martyr SAHM card gets played, so does martyr WOHM card. We all think what we so is valuable and difficult at the same time. [/quote]
