OP here.. Let me re-phrase. If you hate your job, how do you get through your days until you can find another position? Listen to music, take long lunch, be passive-aggressive??? Like one NICE poster said, it will take awhile... Home is where the heart is...

Does every thread have to derail to SAHM vs. WM? Hold the judgment.

Hold the judgment?

How is this dingbat posting any different from those of us who HAVE BEEN in the workforce?

Some of us hate our jobs; others love them.

For those who can't stand their jobs, they look elsewhere while DEALING with the BS at their current jobs.

stupid question

We didn't create the division; OP did.

Her situation applies to men, too.

I'm a WOHM and I work because I enjoy my job, and the thought of being a SAHM makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

If you won the lottery you would still work at your job? Lol.

I am 10:27, and if I won the lottery, I wold still work. It might not be at my current job though. I actually have this planned out. I would manage the renovation of historical homes sort of like Nicole Curtis.

Actually, I'm not pp, but the poster that said I was a sahm. I'm actually a wahm and I would definitely keep working if I won the lotto.

To side with op, I know a lot of moms, particularly in dc, that woh because they love their calling and feel more productive that way than staying home and being a glorified babysitter/cleaner/messenger boy. That said, I'm a sahm and love it. But I am an early childhood teacher by trade, so it is only natural.

What an incredibly tone deaf question.

Wohm mom. Guess what? We work for economic reasons too.

Yep, pretty few people are in their ideal job situation. If you had a few years ideally situated/living the good life, I can see how it would be hard to readjust to the real world. You'll get there like the rest of us slobs.

Yeah...former SAHM here. When ex left, it was work or scrape by on child support and food stamps. Most people don't work for fun.

I would venture that most people go to work for economic reasons. I think given the choice most of us would choose to do something else than go to work.

If you are not in the ideal job situation, how do you get through your days? What have you done to make the situation more tolerable? Shorter commute, interesting work, fun people?? Or do you just tough it out?
