    10 Things Never to Say to a Stay-at-Home Mom

    1. When the kids are older, do you think you'll get a real job?

    2. How June Cleaver of you!

    3. Oh, so you don't work?

    4. Since you have extra time on your hands, could you whip up a few dozen brownies for the bake sale tomorrow?

    5. All day with your kids? I can't even imagine.

    6. I'm jealous. I wish my husband were rich so I wouldn't have to work either.

    7. What do you do all day, anyway?

    8. I'm sure you're not the only one who's ever wasted money on a college degree.

    9. That explains why your son is so clingy!

    10. Weird. I assumed your house would be superclean.

    Those are really cute. But my mom was a stay at home mom, but it was the 1950's and 60's and it was the usual thing.

    I must say, she was obsessive about the cleanliness of the house, and if anyone said she didn't work, she'd rip them a new one. She cleaned things every day that other people cleaned once a week. We all would have been better off if she'd had some kind of outside job.

    The good ones are too busy to care what anyone says to them. They have babies to feed and dishes to wash. Staying at home isn't as "easy" as a lot of people may think. If done properly you spend your day working with your kids and it can get lonely and tiresome.

    Not to say that every stay at home mama is volunteering at their kids school and all that jazz but many of them are very active in their kids lives and accessible for neighborhood kids in need. It's a thankless job and they don't usually expect recognition or understanding.
