OMG, those words don't even BEGIN TO DESCRIBE the whininess coming out of my kid. What the hell is the issue? She's got EVERYTHING, and I am her bitch, and omg, she still whines. I am so glad she has such sweet redeeming qualities, because if not, I would totally be putting her on Etsy with some craft paint on her ass right now.

I hardly thought my comment warranted someone telling me to "suck it". As Jonniker stated herself (and I couldn't agree more), we all have a right to bitch. Guess this was my way of doing just that. Really did not intend to hurt anyone's feelings here.

But I really try not to complain (out loud anyway)because to be gainfully employed in this economy is truly a blessing!

And, I just realized that I'm the opposite of you: I thought I wanted a rewarding, fulfilling career doing something I love. After a couple shaky employment situations and two stints on unemployment, I realized I just want paychecks. Two things: I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s willing to refer to my son as an asshole.

I decided long ago that my job is a job and I don't expect it to fulfill me in many ways. I enjoy it most of the time and I'm good at it. The End. I agree 100% with Jonniker about the "live and let live" theory. Nothing is completely fun, easy and fulfilling and everyone has a right to complain. One thing that really gets under my skin, sort of related to this concept, is when people criticize SAHMs for paying to have their houses cleaned. I can't afford that anymore (kid in college, husband's tenuous job situation) but who am I to criticize a woman who has her house cleaned by others if she wants to do so and can afford it? Sure, I'm jealous, but WTF?! I simply do not understand why there are so many judgmental people out there.

I am a SAHM who had a career before I decided to stay at home and have babies. I feel fortunate every day that I even had the choice, when so many women I know do not. My best friend is the primary bread winner in her home, and I have been listening to her talk for years about the struggles and sacrifices and worries she has as a working mom. Being a stay at home mom is full of worries, struggles and sacrifices too. If my husband lost his job, of course I would do whatever it took to take care of my family, even though my skills are pretty much outdated and I probably would not be able to find a job in my field. Sometimes I feel there is extra stress being a one-income family, since if something happened to my husbands job our income would be cut entirely, not just cut in half. So I do worry. And complain. Just like everyone else. Being a parent is HARD, dudes - and a stay at home mom never gets to leave her job and go home. I love my babies, but the sheer DRUDGERY of full time momming can be mind numbing. And yeah, I complain about it. So suck it Brenna. Love you Linda! Seconding Jonniker and Joanne.

I hadn't been without a job until I had my 1st baby 3 years ago. Baby #2 followed last year and lo and behold baby #3 (whom we can call 'oops') will be making it's debut this summer. Unfortunately for me, my working days for 'the man' are over. Daycare in my city is $50/day/child. So at a nice price tag of $3000/month it is just not worth it. Maybe when the kids are all in school I can return to the workplace but for now, it is literally not an option. I really enjoy getting out of the house if only for a few hours a day and if I can make an extra buck or two - bonus. Here in Canada the government gives us $100/child/month under 6 years of age to help with childcare expenses. We also get a 'Child Tax Credit' based on # of kids and family income and my monthly amount is about $150. This money, instead of going straight to daycare, is helping put food on the table. I sort of rambled on here and not sure what my point is. I guess to say that every situation is different and every situation is viewed differently by others.
