 Quote From: kschmittz Purple,
Yes, I did read it again and yes, it was directed towards me since my post was included. I'm glad you used me to vent your anger from the rude comment however, maybe next time you have some guts and stand up to the person who made the comment- not some stranger. Next, I never commented on YOUR number of posts just the amount in general from SAHM's who are so busy doing EVERTYHING that they have that kind of time. No matter what you say, a SAHM has more downtime during the day than a working Mom. As for lunches/vacation days etc- I know a single Mom of 2 who uses her lunch periods to grocery shop, run errands and volunteer at her both her son's schools (every week) so the weekends are not tied up by that. Yes, I do have ADULT convos during the day. It's too bad with so much out there geared for at home Moms you can't seem to get more interaction than the Internet. Hmmm....Next, I can't really say I wish I was an at home Mom, never really thought about it. I do what I HAVE to do (vs. what I want) for my kids. Food, clothes and housing are not cheap. So, is your hubby only a Dad on weekends/holidays, too? I do not believe SAHM's have it so bad. Most that I know seem to find a good balance and they have outlets available that they take advantage of. ( For example, you'd probably be surprised to know my hubby/I do not have any of our parents close for date nights and the like.) There are tons of things (at least in my area) specifically geared for at home Moms and also retail stores with discount days so that a lot of at home Moms (if they are willing) can really have a productive day with their kids AND have adult interaction to some degree. Just think how angry that ONE comment made you...then think about the SEVERAL comments a WM gets every day. Thanks for the apology.
Kira schmittz4@sbcglobal.net No, you're wrong. Nothing I said was directed at you exactly. I got confused about who was responding to what (another message board I use does things backwards) I not sure what you are talking about, with everything that is geared for sahm's...sorry my area has no such things. I don't even know what the hell you are talking about. I just know you are getting severely defensive and I apologized to you. You don't really accept it from what I can see. I get those comments CONSTANTLY...I get told that I'm wasting my life and my brain, that I am worth SOOOOOO MUCH MORE! I hear this stuff all the time. Again, sorry I took it out on you...not sure I want to give you a second apology. I'm not a prideful person but when a person apologized they are humbling themselves and you pretty much spit on my apology. My husband and I don't go on dates either, we can't afford it much and we don't have anyone to watch our daughter. Again...it's nice that YOUR area has things for sahm's but mine does not. So lets both of us chill out, I'm sure we are both very nice people and I will apologize now for the third time for taking my anger out on you. I don't care how people live their lives as long as they aren't hurting their children. But please don't tell me how much down time I have like you know. You know NOTHING about my life or how I live it just like I know nothing about you. Frankly, you owe me an apology now too. Forth time, I'm sorry for taking my anger out on you. Lets just make up.I don't want to fight on these boards, debate is one thing, but not fighting. We each see life differently and grass probably seems greener now and then. If I had a job then I would get a pay check and "respect" from people. You say working mom's get comments several times a day, well then, that is all I was saying, maybe the grass seems greener on my side sometimes. To each her own. I get as many comments as you do I'm sure... Here is my peace offering, something ANY mom will get a kick out of. Please enjoy (it's an email I got from my MIL) and again, accept my apology for using you as my punching bag: "Why God made moms" answers given by elementary school age children to the following questions...Be sure to read the story at the end..... Why did God make mothers? 1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 2. Mostly to clean the house. 3. To help us out of there when we were getting born. How did God make mothers? 1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us. 2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring. 3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts. What ingredients are mothers made of? 1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean. 2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly used string, I think. Why did God give you your mother and not some other Mom? 1. We're related. 2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me. What kind of little girl was your Mom? 1. My Mom has always been my Mom and none of that other stuff. 2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy. 3. They say she used to be nice. What did Mom need to know about dad before she married him? 1. His last name. 2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer? 3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores? Why did your Mom marry your dad? 1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot. 2. She got too old to do anything else with him. 3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on. Who's the boss at your house? 1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball. 2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed. 3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad. What's the difference between moms and dads? 1. Moms work at work & work at home, & dads just go to work at work. 2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them. 3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's. 4. Moms have magic; they make you feel better without medicine. What does your Mom do in her spare time? 1. Mothers don't do spare time. 2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long. What would it take to make your Mom perfect? 1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery! 2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue. If you could change one thing about your Mom, what would it be? 1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that. 2. I'd make my Mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me. 3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on her back. Have a nice day Kira :) |
