I know Im gonna get **** for this.
But oh how I wish I could have the luxury of a husband going out and punching a time clock, working hard and making good money for me to be able to watch my babies grow up and be apart of their special moments/milestones in the comfort of my own home.
Im not a mom, but I currently work full time and work in a very hard industry, commute 1.5 hours each way, and usually work 50 hours a week. I see girls on my facebook give themselves all of this credit that being a stay at home mom is the "hardest job in the world". Yet they have never earned a degree/worked a real intensive job that requires critical thinking/hard physical labor.
Just wondering if this bothers anyone else. My sisters were stay at home moms for a while but then went back to work. They told me it was the most amazing thing to be at home with the kids though and they loved every minute, saying it wasnt that hard because it was rewarding and they could do it in their pajamas.
My personal favorite is when people put being a stay at home mom as a job on their resume.. Maybe im young and naive but to me that just sounds odd.

It's a 24/7 job for good mom's, not so much for bad moms. I always tell my wife that her job is much harder than mine, and I'm not joking. After my son was born I found a new appreciation for moms and stay at home moms in particular.
I used to think that way, before I had a kid of course! ��. Which is probably what everyone else will say
I worked from home for a major corporation for over 10 years and would hate when folks couldn't understand why I used a daycare for my kid. Maybe when they are much older, but kids are very, very demanding and you never know what each day will bring
I now am back to work in an office and also have a 1-1.5 hr commute each way. My "office"job is much easier in some respects because I know what is needed each day and there is structure. I have a start and end time, there are behavioral rules, I don't get interrupted a zillion times and I work with adults who have logic to solve issues, something kids aren't de eloped in fully. Can you imagining a boss or coworker screaming about something when you are on the phone or tugging on you every 3 minutes for the bathroom, or crying that they spilled their coffee, or they fell down, or Susie cowrorker used the copier before them, etc.?
Of course my office job is draining because it is drudgery to me and really has no emotional rewards either. But harder? Nah, I don't think so.
[SPOILER[/spoiler]I grew up with sisters that are amazing moms and they said they would stay home with their kids over working in a heartbeat. It's a luxury.

How could you possibly be annoyed about something you know nothing about and have no experience in?

Interesting..
I do find the way you view the world to be fascinating, I do not see things the same way.
If you are unhappy with life, think yourself out of it, just use your mind to make a better life for yourself. You will get there.
