Right now I am a stay at home mom with an 11 month old baby boy. I had my first son who is now 23 when I was very young and worked full time (sometimes with 2 jobs) since he was two weeks old and raised him by myself. I just re-married 3 years ago and have been blessed with another son. I stopped working right before he was born and my husband likes for me to be home with him. People keep asking me "When are you going back to work"? My sister-in-law keeps trying to get me a job. We are doing fine finacially so why are they so concerned. I cook, clean, shop, do laundry, maintain the yard and most of all take care of my baby 24/7 so why do people assume I'm lazy?? Before I had the baby I went to dinners, movies, went out shopping, week-ends away. I love being home with my baby and I never complain so what is their problem? I also take care of my mom who had a stroke and my dad who has altzheimers. I go back and forth to their house. Does anyone else encounter this?
