I find stay-at-home mothers annoying?

Question

I don't know. The ones that I've met are just really annoying: they are for one, very easily offended if you say something bad about anything related to their kids (ie, the kids high school is bad); they seem to have NO independent life whatsoever; and they are lazy and just really annoying.

My own mother was a SINGLE mother who worked FULL time and right now she's still working full time. (I'm currently living away at university). I really respect her full that. She also bought her own house on her own salary.

I think stay at home moms are just really annoying..what do you think?

also my "stepmother" is a stay at home mom (even though she has a PhD) and she takes naps every single day for 3 hours with her kid...

yeah, that's the life of a stay at home mother.

Whatever, all I can say is mothers who have to work full-time jobs and raise kids ALONE and send them off to a good university deserve more respect.

Stay at home mothers are lazier than ones who work full time jobs and also have to take care of their kids.

No. she's not napping with a baby..the child is 8 years old, yeah 8

No, I respect my mother because she's a very hard worker , intelligent, has a PhD in mathematics, and is NOT a lazy stay at home mom. She's a very kind person too.

Answer 2

It is commendable that your mom was able to do what was needed to raise you well. I am a sahm of two boys and in school part time working on my BA in Business Admin. Even when I graduate I plan to stay home until my kids are older. We live off of what my husband makes, and he only has a GED, but that is enough to pay our bills. It would be easy to go to work now and make more money, but I refuse to allow a teenager at a daycare to raise my children. I do want to add that some working moms are lazy too. I am not staying home to avoid work, I am very social so it is hard to be in the house with the kids all day. I do feel that this is the most important job in my life, my children are only young once, I only get one chance to instill discipline and love in their lives. Even as an adult I'm sure you remember your moms love a LOT more than the love of your childcare workers.

Answer 3

I had to work out of the home to make ends meet. I would have loved to have been a stay at home mom. I could have been there for my children many times when they really needed me. The house would have been cleaner, the meals better and healthier, the children would have had rides to extracurricular events, I could have participated more in their school. My husband would not have needed to work around the house all weekend long instead of relaxing (and neither would I have), we could have had more educational family outtings, etc... Lazy people will be lazy no matter what. I have never been lazy. I always find things that need doing and do them.

Answer 4

Staying at home when the child is eight, yeah I do find that a bit weird. I can understand women who stay at home until their child reaches school age -- I mean if they can afford it, and they want to concentrate on child-rearing and the household, why not? It's their choice.
But yeah, after that it gets a bit weird. Although I don't think they should judge personally. But neither should we really. Hey, it's their choice, if they choose to have no life, so be it.
And yes, I think single working mothers are the best (you know, being modest and all, I do like to complement myself:p) Hehehe.

Answer 5

I just think lots and lots of stay at home moms are lazy, but not all. I was a stay at home mom when my kids were little, but I kept the house clean, completed the daily laundry, took out the garbage, did the shopping, mowed the yard, made sure bills were paid, prepared and cleaned up after meals. Plus, tend to the children. Oh, and picked up the dog poop! .......And made sure I wasn't in those holy sweats when hubby came home!

Answer 7

I worked full time until about a year and a half ago. The company I worked for didn't respect the employees, so I left. Me quitting was the best thing for my family. I was working longer hours than my husband and he was doing all of the cooking, laundry and grocery shopping while working a full time job. It wasn't fair to him. He wasn't able to help the kids with their homework like I could and I knew he wasn't happy. Our house is now clean, I do the laundry and shopping and my husband is home by 4:30 everyday. He's now able to relax after work instead of cooking and washing clothes and I don't have to see him unhappy because I worked the longer hours. I do plan on going back to work part time when my daughter starts middle school, just for myself... not the money. So, the next time you judge a person, make sure you know the facts because you're very uneducated about this.

Answer 8

Why in the world are you attacking ALL stay at home moms, when your true issue is with your step-mother? Bravo to your mother for being a single parent and being able to accomplish so much on her own while rearing her children, but your attack on women who stay at home to rear their children, take care of a household, put their own careers on hold for the benefit of their children -- well, that's simply not fair, and prejudiced.

Sounds like the real issue here is your extreme dislike for your step-mother.

Answer 9

if she is napping with a baby you'd better get some knowledge in ya buddy the woman's body goes through hell when she gives birth and all those months of carrying around all that weight and the healing process is 2 years long i couldn't lift a gallon of milk for months after i gave birth to a 4 pound baby.But with the tearing i probably lost a lot of blood and i donated blood after one month to another woman's baby that needed it to.Besides not all women were cut out of the same life a lot of women have had really hard lives and can't stand up to your mom like starving for 3 days at a time while growing up doesn't make for a strong person you---Know!

Answer 10

that isn't always the case. Usually, moms who sleep in the afternoon with the kids do so b/c they have been up half the night with a baby or running around with the kids in the yard, etc.
I think it is true that we are more sensitive. It's kind of like you going to work all day (or school) and then coming home and wanting to share your day. All day long we talk to babies and deal with baby stuff.....so we get absorbed into it and it becomes a literal job for us with no pay, so we get frustrated when other people make comments or suggest that we are just sitting around doing nothing. Some are, I am quite sure. But not all.

Answer 11

I used to be a stay at home mommy.
My husband earned enough for me not to have to work...
My "job" wasnt easy though...
After making a family breakfast and getting my husband's clothes ready.My daughter is still small,so I had to bath and dress her.Then I took her to school and started cleaning the house.
I typed all my husbands memo's and faxes for him as well as helping out on two days a week at my daughters school.
I prepared three meals a day for the family and never had time to take naps...
Now Im working and my domestic worker does the cleaning and cooking...
Working full time for a broker is an easier job trhan staying at home!
