To Those Who Don't Think a Stay At Home Mom Is A Job:



I am a... Chef, Chauffeur, Maid, Nurse, Teacher, Artist, Songwriter, Storyteller, Disciplinarian, Entertainer, Personal Playground, Sounding Board, Therapist, Nightmare Chasing, Boo-boo Kissing, Father, Playmate, Sibling, Friend -I AM A MOTHER.


I do not get breaks.  I do not get to "clock out".  I do not get vacation time or sick days.  I do not get to run into the store real quick.  I do not get to sleep in.  I do not get weekends or nights off.  I do not get a pay check.  I do not get a tax return.  I do not get a thank you or a promotion.  I do not get a twenty minute commute in peace.  I do not get to pee by myself.  


So Please don't insinuate that I do not have a job.  


For those of you that are a stay at home mom, Please comment and let it be known that this is what we do on a DAILY basis!

I am 100% with you! I was at home till the youngest started school, then started to drive school bus. Perfect job for a mom - at home when the kids are :)
