For stay at home moms.....what would you say?

I would tell her to mind her own business. I am a working mom and would love to be a stay at home mom its just not in the cards for me. She probably is just jealous because she can't stay home with her kids like you can.

I am not a stay at home mom, but I cannot believe someone said that to you! I recently returned to work and I tell everyone that working outside the home is so much easier than staying home caring for a child!

There is more than one way to provide and care for your child and I am sorry you had to deal with someone so close-minded. The most important thing to provide your little one with is love! I don't feel like I am a bad mother because I returned to work. No one should try to make you feel bad for choosing to stay at home with your baby.

I know this is a little off the topic but my wife is a stay at home mom and she has just recently got involved in CafeMom. She has meet alot of really great people and is really enjoying it. She also made a decision to start working from home to fill some of the time she has and to get a little extra spending money for herself. She got introduced to a company of Melaleuca that is specifically for Moms. Check it out if you are interested. They sell home products that are environmentally friendly and I think she got me some vitamins too.

I would tell them that I already have a great 24 hour job and that I am taking care of my baby and that you don't want to miss out on anything that you would if you had a job. Or if their being really big a$$ holes about it I would tell them to f**k off.

I tell them I do have a job, a 24 hour a day job! I also add that I am very lucky to be able to stay home with my son.

i was always under the impression that i am doing a job (and a hard one at that) being a sahm.

not all of us are lucky enough to stay home and raise our baby. it sounds to me that that person is just jealous !

I'd say they are very jealous that you are able to dedicate yourself entirely to bringing up your children in a stable, loving, decent home rather than chase after stuff you do not need.

Personally, I would have covered my babies ears and told her where to go.

I would tell them that being a stay at home mom is a full time job, it doesn't end, you dont get weekends off, you don't get coffee breaks. You don't get paid.

Actually..... I probably wouldn't say all that, I'd think it, but just say "F**k off".

Do you have another source of income ? that allows you to stay home? and spouse or boyfriend ? if so then yes stay home tell them to **** off but if you can't take care of you child without working then you need to go to work.

Up until a child is in 1st grade, the mother should stay home with their baby. They should work only the hours the child is in school & be home for the child when school is out.
