I am a stay at home, most people think being a stay at home isn't a "real job". Now, the people who say don't know what its like to stay home with their children all day and also clean house, do the laundry, and make dinner, they would realize how difficult it actually is to be a stay at home mom. Not only am I doing all that but I also have to take care of an 8 week old baby. It's not easy, and some days are better than others. Being at home all week and most weekends is hard. Don't get me wrong I love my sweet baby girl, but after being home all week and not doing anything but house work gets really boring. Not only that but when you have a screaming, unhappy and puking baby its hard to get anything done at the house. Then when you go out and someone asks you what you do and you tell them you are a stay at home mom they look at you like you are crazy! Little do they know that you take care of the baby or toddler all day long. Then you have the stay at home moms that are also going to school and taking care of the house work, the baby, and doing homework. All the stay at home moms know exactly what it is like to stay at home. Its rewarding and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I am a very social person, so being home all day is super difficult for me, but knowing at the end of the day my baby gets one on one time with me is a true blessing. So the next time that you bash a stay at home mom just remember that they have more than one job and they don't just sit around all day long like everyone thinks. I wouldn't want it any other way knowing that my baby is getting one on one with her mother and learning so much from me. I love her and I love my "not real job".
