The life of a stay at home mom is a tricky one. You either have people that understand how hard it is or you get others that don’t. They see it as if your home all day your house must always be cleaned. You must live in it but not let it looks lived in ever. If you have all this time when the kids are done everything must be done before they return. That it’s okay to have kids stuff but the kids must never have to much or if they do you, you spend too much.
That if you decide for a day to take a break and take care of yourself then you are lazy and should be working even if that means nobody is acutely there to care for the kids you had.

You are absolutely right. Stay at home moms do not even have a rest day nor being paid a wage etc like a working person. She or he (for house husband) are around the clock 24/7 on alert for any comings and goings of the house and to monitor the children etc.
And on top of that, to keep the house neat and trim all the time. Most likely, it is a thankless job and more appreciation should definitely be given for sahm.

That it should and not everyone is able to keep a house supper clean like a hospital. Keeping up with kids and house at the same time is very hard to do.

There has not been any job I have done (and I have had many) that have been as difficult as to raise children. I have 2 daughters (with more I´d have been insane) and they were nice inteligent children. Tania at one time liked to make clothes for her dolls. She took everyone of my scraps of material, placed them in the floor of the living room and started cutting. Claudia liked to paint and she still does. But then in another part of the living room she emptied all her crayons. Guess who had to pick them up later! Take a break dear! You deserve it!

@marguicha he is trying to have my back without well I guess being rude. I do no have a problem with that if she over steps she’ll get a mouth full. I’ve heard a lot from her over the years and it’s very old now.
