Is SAHM a Job?
| Wed, 08-24-2011 - 3:37pm |
I recently started reading stfuparentsblog and fell in love with it. The blogger pokes fun of parents from submitted facebook and twitter updates. She's a real riot to read, probably because my kids are older and I've been out of the 'mommy' stage for a while now and I'm beyond taking any of it personally. It could be found offensive a little, though I think she touches on some of the subjects discussed here often.
Recently, the blogger made a guest post at mommyish asking, Can Stay-At-Home-Moms Say That They Have Jobs?
So, what do you think? Is being a SAHM a 'job'?

That has been my experience as well.

Amen!
Agreed. One of my friends had academics for parents. She told me that as a child she hated the sound of typewriters, because her parents were home, but working, and the kids knew they were not supposed to disturb the parents if the parents were writing. I have heard similar stories from other people whose parents worked at home.
There's really no ideal, just acceptable compromises.
I have been home for 15 years.
New here.
Yes!
