I read this blog recently and it really pissed me off. The guy writing it was talking about his wife being a stay at home mom for their kids and I really liked how he stood up for his wife when people looked down at her for being a stay at home mom. What ticked me off about reading this was the comments below it. I saw women commenting saying how because they work their jobs are harder than it would be to stay at home and play with the kids.
One woman said she worked 24-7 because when she got home from her job she had to take care of her kids and that was much harder than staying at home all day with the kids, and this really ticked me off. She went on to say how she made dinner, helped with homework, and all these things in the short amount of time she had when she got home from her tough job. Everything she said pissed me off because she was comparing it to a stay at home mom like she had it harder than a stay at home mom.
Well to the bitch that made the comment and the ones like her who think we stay at home moms do nothing all day I say the heck with you! You don't know jack! While your kid goes off to daycare or school and is grouped in with other kids and gets minimal attention my kids are home learning and getting full attention from me! You get to send your kid off everyday so that some other person can feed, teach, and care for your kid. If you think it is rough when you get home then why wouldn't it be rough all day for a stay at home mom?
Just because I don't head off to the office every morning does not make my job any less important or valuable than yours! I'd like to see your ass sit at home and spend all day teaching your kid and dealing with them and their millions of questions 24-7. Sure I have downtime sometimes but so do you! I'm damn sure your ass doesn't sit down every now and then and take a couple minute break! How do I know that? Because I have worked jobs in the past!
And while I know that working at a job can be stressful I have learned that being a stay at home mom is the most stressful job you could ever have! I love my kids but this is the toughest most time consuming and frustrating job of my life! I know that I am the best person to teach my kids so I stay home with them. I could be working in an office someplace but I choose to stay home with them and teach them to benefit them!
What do you know about any of that? Because you are home a few hours and stressing over a little bit of homework and making dinner? Oh man that must be soooo freaking tough! Try making 3 meals a day. Try not being able to poop or pee by yourself all friggin day! Try spending everyday trying to teach your one kid something new while the other one interrupts every chance they get. Try doing all the stuff you cram into those few hours a day that you stress about all damn day! Sure I'm not cleaning the whole house on a weekend which is supposed to be my time off because technically I don't have time off either!
You think I'm don't have other things going on in my life too? That just because I can accomplish some things during the day that you have to do at night doesn't mean their isn't stuff piling up for me at night time too?
To the person who wrote that comment you are an ignorant bitch. Every job is equally as important to the next whether its a stay at home mom, executive at a company, or the fucking janitor! Why because without the person to watch your kids you are screwed, where will they go without a sitter or school? Without the executive who will run the company? Without the janitor the place will turn into a dump! So don't think that just because you drop your kids off some place with someone to care for your most precious items that what you do is any harder or anymore important than what I or anyone else out there does!
I hope I never have to come face to face with a person as closed minded as this. And if I do you bet your ass I am going to give them a mouthful just like the husband did on the blog I posted above.
