I am sick and tired of the looks I get when I tell people I am a "stay at home mom". You know that look, it is almost as if they feel bad for me. I am sure they picture me sitting at home in my pajamas eating Bon-Bons watching my soap operas. Now don't get me wrong I do enjoy my "Days of Our Lives" but I watch it between doing laundry, cleaning the house, and lets not forget taking care of my child. Oh you don't think thats enough well I also work part time from home. So no I am not "JUST" a stay at home mom. Now I don't want people to think I am looking down on moms that go back to work. That is not the case at all I mean people have to do what people have to do and for some staying at home is just not for them. I am just sick of the people who look at me like they pity my sad pathetic existents. I grew up with a stay at home mom and I would not change a thing about my childhood, not a single thing. My mom was always there when I needed her, I always had a home cooked meal clean clothes and the comfort and security of always having my mom near by. I enjoy staying home making sure I have a clean home and having dinner started for my husband when he gets home from work. (Ok who are we kidding this does not always happen, but I sure do try) Gasp...hand to mouth...I can hear all the feminist just disgusted, "what have we worked so hard to achieve for this bitch to stay home and wait on a man." Well in fact I live my life for two men, my husband and my son. And I do it because I want to. "Oh goodness the horror." Get over it, sure I have my Bachelors in English. So what am I going to do with the degree you ask? Well I guess that means I can read bed time stories well and maybe later down the line I will use it to write very persuasive letters why Liam missed first period. Again I am not knocking those who work, hell ya more power to you. I am talking about those who think they are better than me because they work. Oh and did I mention that I do work from home, again that does not mean sitting in my PJ's with my laptop. That means waking up 3 hours before my son does so I can get my self together, pump and get some work together. It means getting as much work done as I can during nap times and on days when Liam decides naps just aren't in his schedule well that means staying up till 12am doing the work I didn't get done. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining I love my life. I love spending all day long with my sweet boy I love knowing that when his tummy hurts its me who will be there to comfort him, I love being there for all his firsts I can not imagine missing a single moment of his life. So thats who I am, I am a proud stay at home mom. cgv xfvfddddxg gcfff ç˚
