I recently read this article and thought it was rather fitting...there was also a list of what not to say to a stay-at-home mom. I have always thought we as Mom's must always want "it all." Somedays I envy stay-home-mamas more than you know, and Somedays I am thrilled to be at work. I imagine it's similar for all Moms.
So, here is the list...I could think of a few more too...#7 is my personal favorite, having heard variations of this one myself.
1. It must be hard missing all those special moments every day.
2. I suppose it's smart that you're working. You know, in case your husband leaves you some day.
3. I'm surprised you went back to work. Your husband seems so successful.
4. It's cute when they call your nanny "Mama."
5. I just love my kids too much to leave them during the day.
6. Did you see Dateline? The one with the hidden camera in the day care?
7. I could never let someone else raise my children. But that's just me!
8. I hated my mom because she was never home after school like everyone else's mom.
9. You must feel so guilty.
10. I wish I were as laid-back as you and could just let the housework go.
