[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question.  What do stay at home moms of kids all over the age of 7 do during the day from 9:30-2:30?[/quote]

Whatever I want!

I can never understand the people who want to claim the worst life. I guess you get a martyr prize, but living a nice life is much better. [/quote]

LOL, I ask bc I am WFH today.  DDs are at school and it's a very slow work day.  I'm looking around, house is clean, dinner for tonight is prepared, and I'm sort of bored.  I'm wondering what y'all do to keep engaged. [/quote]

This is really sad. Can you really not figure out how to be productive and keep engaged without an employer telling you what to do?[/quote]

NP. Oh please, come on. You've never kind of sat around and wondered what to do with yourself? It's a combination of boredom, lack of energy, lack of motivation. There's a ton of stuff one could do, but the motivation to do any of it isn't that strong. So you kind of wander through a day.

You've never felt that? Please.

She didn’t say that she was unmotivated.  She said there was nothing to do.  That’s different.  [/quote]

Uh huh. She's a mom who also works outside the home. I'm sure there is literally nothing to do. No laundry, no meals to plan or prepare, no groceries to buy, no emails to send, no projects to move on. Uh huh. It's not that she's kinda bored and listless, it must be that she has nothing to do. That must be it. As a WOHM, I definitely "wait for my employer to tell me what to do." That's why I never unload the dishwasher, put gas in my car or buy fruit for the PTA hospitality event.  :roll: [/quote]

That doesn't sound sad. It sounds awesome.[/quote]
