[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think it is friends who post on DCUM who are jealous of their friends who are SAH parents.

Agree. Sounds like OP is the jealous one but acts judgmental instead of jealous. [/quote]

Who isn't jealous of a woman who doesn't have to work AND has enough time and money to spend her days working out, shopping, and meeting friends for lunch at the country club?  If you have a full-time housekeeper and cook, it's not a big deal to shuttle the kids around in the evening.  I only have one friend living this life, and yes, I'm jealous.

I have a friend who is a SAHM and her husband makes millions. She has no idea about their financial situation because he controls everything and she feels like she has no ability to do anything other than be a mom. He literally brought her home a new car last year and said, this is your car. She didn't pick it out or anything, he just decided that would be her new car. Sure, from the outside I can see how her life is enviable - massive house, one kid, tons of money, spends a lot of time with friends, works out, always looks great, has cleaners, etc. But I know more how she feels and it isn't great. Her husband also never changed a diaper or put the kid to bed. So no, I'm not jealous of her. [/quote]
