Do the comments EVER stop????
Why is it that no matter if you are a SAHM or a working mom people are just so stupid??
Last night we were at a friend's house and they all want to know when we're having a third child. I simply stated that I had my hands filled with two and that I was happy and blessed to have what I have.
So one the women there says to me "Well what does it matter if you have a third - you're home anyway" 
Why is there this assumption that b/c I am a SAHM that I sit around with my feet up, go shopping and do nothing all day????????
Sorry, rant over - it just ticks me off.

You should of said to her, why dont you come over one day and take care of my 2 kids and see how much a SAHM really does, I'm sure she would never ask you that question again!

Lori, I am with you on this 100%. I get the stupid azz comments all the time with regard to where I spend my time since I am home all day and why can't I get the house in order.
Your above quote is something DH will say to me sometimes..... And being 8-1/2 months pregnant now, how does he think anything gets done! Men

 Is she insane? She doesn't have kids does she?? To answer your question, no they never stop. Has nothing to do with being a SAHM, we all get comments. My favorite was "Does it bother you that strangers are raising your kids?" Then this guy had the nerve to offer me a job. I told him he couldn't pay me enough.
In any event, since you're not "doing" anything, I'll be right over to drop of my two.

Being a SAHM is a HARD HARD job and I will admit that I didn't get that until I actually did it. There is never any sleeping late, your life is not your own anymore, adult time is a rare thing. I think until someone does it they have this delusion that you sit home and watch TV and eat bon bons all day.

That's why I'm guessing she can't possibly have kids...although I have to say I never thought any of my SAHM friends had time to got to the store to get Bon-Bons.

So true. I always thought it was going to be a lot easier than it is. It is the hardest job I ever had.

One of the women at work, who has two kids, says that she comes to work for a break.

Um seriously, I was sick the other day and DH told me to take off and I was like, well I can always shut the office door and lay down...can't do that with a 6 month old...
I applaud and admire SAHM's it is the hardest job and there is NOOOOOO vacation time...
