There may be some backlash following my comments but these are my views. I don’t understand why stay at home moms/women/home makers feel the need to be constantly applauded and appreciated for what they do? We all have jobs, some have them outside the house and some have them inside the home. If you think about it, stay at home women DO have it easier- they can get up when they want, rest when they want and essentially DO what they want whereas in a work environment you follow your work’s rules. How many women applaud their husbands for going to work everyday? Why would you then expect to be applauded for carrying out your role? It doesn’t make sense. You choose to stay at home so that means you choose to carry out the duties associated with that but don’t expect to be treated like you change the world everyday by cooking, cleaning and ironing (not saying that women who have careers change the world but just in general).

Um…I don’t think you realize what a SAHM really does. Being a SAHM ain’t no joke. You work 9-5…you punch out at 5…they don’t.

I’ve babysat my nephew and nieces…I kept my older niece when she was abut 2.5 for an entire month because my sister had training in another state. Remember, this is only babysitting…it does not even compare to a school going kid’s schedule or an infant’s. I had nothing to do with her education, her religious education, her eating habits, her doc appts, her homework, her potty training, nothing. I played khala so we just did fun stuff…and it was hard but easier than when she was much younger and now when she’s much older and demands even more attention. You get to spoil kids as aunts but my sisters are in charge of not spoiling them…harder.

They do not wake up whenever they want…they wake up when the kid wakes and that can be 9am or 3am or 6am like my niece did for a while so she can take Qur’an clsses…and no…they do not just roll over and go to beddy bye. They don’t play in a corner quietly. They don’t just smile silently like you might have seen in pictures…they poop, drool, pee, puke, all of it anytime they want. And after that, they don’t just wait for you to find time to clean them up either…you are required to set your schedule around theirs.

I really don’t even know where to begin…
