Is a baby really that much work?

Re: Is a baby really that much work?

Thank you all for providing insight into the situation.

For those who have been commenting on the fact that I noted that my friend is a SAHM..yes I did, but that is nothing for anyone to take offense to or create an issue of my words when there IS no issue. Yes, I noted she is a SAHM simply to demonstrate that my friend is NOT juggling a career in addition to being a mom to a newborn which would obviously excuse her from forgetting to respond. I was simply providing context into the situation in that she is a full time SAHM and that, from my view, surely that would mean she can take a couple of minutes to respond. In the same way I have a full time career but can definitely take a couple of minutes to respond to a text. My line of inquiry was whether a new mom REALLY doesn’t have two minutes to text back when being a mom is her full time job, in the same way my full time job DOES allow me to get back to people. Since I am obviously not a mother yet I was trying to ascertain whether I have missed something here and should be more sympathetic and understanding to her situation- that’s all.

Here we go again…
