[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe most working mom's wish they were SAHM. I think they are usually jealous.[/quote]

I think the reverse.[/quote]

Wouldn't they get a job if that was the case?[/quote]

No, because they've rendered themselves irrelevant and convince themselves that their kids benefit from their laziness. What's more hypocritical than the SAHM of a daughter who pushes her kid to excel academically?[/quote]

SAHMs are lazy, but spending your day sitting at a computer trolling dcum takes lots of energy?

I am a SAHM with 3 kids in school all day. It's 11:30am in my area. So far, I have made my kids breakfast, packed their lunch and taken them to school. I spent about 45 minutes volunteering in my son's class. I went for a jog, did 2 loads of laundry, and a load of dishes. then I paid the bills. Dinner is in the crock-pot.  Getting ready to shower and then heading to a meeting for a volunteer committee that I chair. Then I will pick up my kids, as well as the neighbor kids since I will baby sit them until their mom gets home from work. With all that done, our evening will run smoothly. I will have no problem finding time to take my daughter to the library to do some research for a school project. Then I will enjoy reading with my son. After that, I will enjoy a glass of wine and Netflix with DH.

Enjoy your stressful, frantic evening with your family, PP. [/quote]

Who do you think fed my kids breakfast, packed their lunches (last night) and took them to school (DH?)  I then worked out from 8-830.  Bills are paid online and I check them once a week.

I'll then work a full day, pick up my kids at 5, make a leisurely dinner and hang out with my kids and husband.

So you did dishes (my DH handles that) and did some laundry, beyond what I did today (and I refuse to believe you do that volunteer work anywhere near daily unless it's the most intensive volunteer job on earth).

I know you'd like to think WOHMs can't do all you do (which really isn't much, BTW) and contribute productively to society too, but we just can.  Especially with a DH who does his fair share around the house, since I'm his partner, not his housekeeper.[/quote]

I never said you couldn't do it all. Good for you! Ok, my comment about your stressful evening was snarky, but my point was that my day was not exactly lazy. i also never said that I volunteer every day. I go twice a week. Tomorrow I am painting a room, meeting a friend for lunch, and then working on my booth at an antique mall. [/quote]
