I am so sick of the way that people perceive stay-at-home moms. I’m tired of the condescending looks and that baby tone of voice people get when they learn that I do not leave my house every day to go to work. My least favorite question that people ask right after I’ve told them my un-worthy profession is “So aren’t you bored all day? Not going to work every day would drive me nuts.” BORED?! I don’t have time to be bored and even if I gave myself the chance to be bored I would be opening myself, my day and my household to any number of disasters.

These people that seem to think that all I do is sit on the couch and watch my kids run around all day and maybe do a little cleaning if I feel like it confuse me. All I want to know after they talk to me that way is what is it like in their house? Are there not a million loads of laundry to do? Or how about the constant battle over the TV channel while your fighting everyone to find something more useful to do? Is my house unusually busy?
