why do people feel the need to cut on housewives?

I was a SAHM for about a month. All I can say is my hat is off to women who stay at home, its A LOT harder than it looks!

I'm with Willy, people in laudromats should not throw stones.

I could write a book on this subject...and find it hilarious that women need to criticize other women for their choices in life.. I have been a SAHM... I raised three daughters, ran a household, took care of the car, paid all the bills, drove everyone everywhere swimming, soccer, school you name it , including husband to the train, shopped, cooked, washed for 5 people, emotionally held everyone together, I think that is a full time job... Now that they are all grown up and out of the house, they thank me everyday for being there for them when they were growing up.. I am not saying I did not work at night and part time, I did those things as well...but I did not have a full-time job outside of the house, I had one in the house... sometimes with lots of overtime when any of them were sick....and needed me. And because of the role I assumed in my household, I took all the home responsibility on my shoulders so that my husband could work without any other worries..

Jealousy sometimes plays a part in making hurtful remarks to others for their choices...and I have my fair share of those too....I actually had someone make a remark to me at the gym the other day, I considered the source... an angry, overworked single woman trying to make ends meet. I felt sorry for her and thanked God that I did make the right choices all along.

Sorry so long, I get passionate about this.

I think any woman who puts down a SAHM is jealous. I would have loved to have been able to have stayed at home and been a SAHM. But economics didn't allow it.

When I think of the work that my Mom did at home for her family, I'm still truly amazed. What a woman she was !!!

I think being a SAHM is one of the most honorable jobs in the world and you are a very, very lucky woman to be able to do that job. Congratulations !!!!
