10 THINGS NEVER TO SAY TO A STAY AT HOME MOM & 10 THINGS NEVER TO SAY TO A WORKING MOM


STAY AT HOME MOMS ....

1. When the kids are older, do you think youll get a real job?
2. How June Cleaver are you?
3. Oh, so you dont work?
4. Since you have extra time on your hands, could you whip up a few dozen brownies for the bake sale tomorrow?
5. All day with your kids? I cant even imagine!
6. Im jealous! I wish my husband were rich so I wouldnt have to work either!
7. What do you do all day, anyway?
8. Im sure your not the only one whos ever wasted money on a college degree
9. That explains why your son/daughter is so clingy!
10. Weird. I assumed your house would be superclean!

WORKING MOMS

1. It must be hard missing all those special moments everyday
2. I suppose its smart that your working. You know, in case your husband leaves you someday.
3. Im surprised you went back to work. Your husband seems so successful.
4. Its cute when they call your nanny "mama"
5. I just love my kids too much to leave them during the day
6. Did you see Dateline? The one with the kidden camera in the daycare?
7. I could never let someone else raise my children. But thats just me!
8. I hated my mom because she was never home after school like everyone elses mom.
9. You must feel so guilty.
10. I wish I were as laid back as you and could just let the housework go.

    It's hard work being a mom, whether you are staying at home or woking. I've been on both sides and it's never easy either way :)

    i like this. different situations work for different ppl and other people should not judge them for their choices. some working mom's would love to be able to stay home and just can't afford it. some mom's love having a career. some SAHM's wish they had somewhere to go for a break! lol. I'm currently going to school full time and my husband is overseas so I do have a lot of home time, but have a lot to fit into that time and my kids are young and still pretty dependent. stay at home mom's don't have any more time on their hands than working mom's they just have a slightly different set of tasks to accomplish and don't get paid! lol. i agree with ngolston...being a mom is hard work either way!

    I love that!!! I can see both sides, even though I was only able to stay home with my son for his first 6 weeks of life. As much as I would absolutely LOVE to be a stay at home mom, I enjoy my job, and grandma enjoys getting to see her grandson every day. I also love when I pick up my son at the end of the day and I get the biggest grin from him! Makes my day!
