Why is a SAHM not allowed to call that her job?

Wow this is the most ridiculous thing I think I have ever heard. Is this a joke? If being a SAHM is your JOB you should be fired. What job do you know of where you could be productive 33% of the time? I work full time, my husband works full time and we both take care of our daughter, two dogs and household 100% of the time. My house is still clean, my daughter is well cared for and I excel at my job. It’s about prioritizing your life and taking charge. Not complaining about what your husband who has a full time job does or doesn’t do. Perhaps you could communicate better with him and split the responsibilities better while he is home just as if you were both working out side of the home. But during the day you’ll need to schedule yourself just as you would outside of the home.

No kidding!! I do it all! My newborn is just over a month and her dad has changed about 4 diapers TOTAL! I found out this past week that he is basically afraid of her and he has a 10 yr daughter! So, I have done pretty everything for my baby.

That actually doesn’t sound bad. It’s just the mom’s attitude that needs to change. My husband works and provides for us, that’s his job. My job is to take care of the baby, clean the house and make meals. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and wish I could be the one leaving to go to work, but I know that’s not true. Even though it’s a lot of work being a stay-at-home mom, the rewards are like nothing else. I get to make sure my family has everything they need, and get all their love in return. Sometimes I do wish my husband would help out more, but I know it’s not my place to be focusing on what other people should be doing better. I have enough things that I need to improve on! That needs to be my focus. I’ve also noticed though, that the more respectful and loving you are to your husband, and contented in all things, the more he will love on you and do everything he can to help and make things easier. A perfect relationship begins with what you can change, not what he needs to change. That’s something I need to be constantly reminded of! Ultimately, when it comes to being a mom, sometimes I think of how I just want to drop our baby with a sitter and go to work or school or anything, but I know that if I was to do that, in 20 years when my baby’s an adult, I would be full of regret. Being with him all day, and planning to homeschool, I know that when all my children are out of the house, I’ll be able to look back and know I was there for every moment, that I didn’t miss a thing. I know I’m doing what’s best for my family.

Is this for real? If so, the op really gives SAHMs a bad name! Seriously, it’s not THAT difficult! She doesn’t even get up with the kids! Time to learn some organizational skills and get your act together! Stay at home with your kids, but make it work…whatever you do, it should challenge you, not frazzle you completely!
