Rant from a SAHM

[Glittergirl]

I'm also a SAHM most of the time...I say that cause I have 8 clients I see so that means I technically work outside the home 8 hours per week...not including driving. I go to work to get a break and I work with kids...so go figure! Anyway, I feel like that about certain family members like in-laws at times. 90% of family functions are at our home if they take place in our town. 2 of the three SIL don't have kids..one is single, one newlywed and the one who is married has a college age kid and a baby but she works full-time so heaven forbid she contribute to any potluck we have. She's the one who might pick up a pie! She once had a dinner party at her home but I brought ingredients and cooked there! she had her mom and other sister make everything for her baby's Bday! And to top it off I was expected to host thanksgiving when my son was 5 days old! "I said Heck no...I'm still wearing a diaper LOL" I was So mad!!! So yeah sista, I hear you!!!!

That's annoying, glittergirl - I feel your pain.

I would never have let you make those cupcakes mocha! I work during school hours (my youngest goes to a childminder) and am home from mid-afternoon and one day a week and I know that the days when I go to work are less emotionally draining than being at home with the children! Work is challenging in other ways but at least when I'm there I can concentrate on getting the job done - at home I can't do a damn thing without everybody wanting some random thing every 30 seconds and it's a constant battle to get anything done! I don't complain about how hectic my life is having 3 children and working because it's my choice and, in all honesty, if I didn't have time to make cupcakes I'd just buy some instead! I don't feel the need to be perfect (good job really!)!!
