[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I HATE this. And I hate SAHM's like you that can't wrap their head around how HARD this is for a minute. We are lucky that we both have our jobs and the ability to work from home. But we are doing so with a 4 year old at home and it is nearly impossible to work. I'm up early and late to make up for what I can't get done. It's exhausting and isolating. I miss my family, friends and co-workers.

A SAHM mom I know posted some post about how hard it is to do all 3 - parent, teach and work - at the same time. Bitch please... she has no job, her kids are under 5 and previously only went to mother's day out so no real teaching to do. Her biggest change is that her husband is working from home and it's really rocked their world. So extremely irritating.  :roll: [/quote]

It’s hard to have three kids under five at home under any circumstances. It’s probably a lot harder now that many activities are canceled.  You don’t know that because you have never had a job raising children full time, beyond the four or so months of maternity leave you took.  Of course this is harder for those who have to work, but it’s hard for everyone.  Are you a health care worker in a hospital? Then someone has it harder than you.  You have ONE four month old child at home who has zero need for socialization with other kids.  There are people who have it harder than you.  So stop castigating others. Even if this was the misery Olympics, you’d lose by a mile. [/quote]

You really struggle with reading comprehension. The SAHM I referenced has 2 kids, not 3. I have a 4 YEAR OLD not 4 month old. Having a 4 YEAR OLD at home while I'm on the phone all day basically ignoring her sucks. At least the SAHM can pay attention to her kids. Meanwhile I get to tell mine to be quiet and stick her in front of a TV so I can have god awful conference calls.

Oh and BTW I raise my kid full time even though I work. [/quote]

Lol that a person with one four year old thinks she is winning the suffering olympics.[/quote]
