SAHM vs Working Moms

[Sayragirl]

I agree that SAHM work hard.  Especially with young ones, they can easily loose their identity and not know who they are supposed to be or how to act when they are away from taking care of children.  I think that is something that us working moms are able to combat.  We are able to get out of house and be around our peers.  HOWEVER, we do not have 3 or 4 hour nap time where we can take care of the house, do laundry, pay bills and create shopping lists.  Instead we have to do it all in a few hours at home, which the kids are up and rearing to go.  We have to pay bills, clean house, give baths, prepare dinner, do laundry all in a couple hours, most of the time doing 3 or 4 things at the same time AND after 8 to 10 hours of HARD work at our jobs. 
So I do think that mom's in general deserve a holiday, but we already have one, it is called Mother's Day.  Being a SAHM is no harder than the crazy schedules we working mom's have to keep.
I will say, I have NO pity what so ever to the SAHM  whose only children are in school.  I have heard many SAHMs who have kids in high school who are still complaining that their lives are so hard.  GIVE ME A BREAK, you have 8 hours alone in your house to do whatever, these mothers have it made and do not live in the real world.
So for summary, those SAHM who have small children and those mothers who work hard CONSTANTLY without any break all deserve recognition for hard work, BUT those who sit at home for 8 hours with nothing to do - GET A LIFE!!!!
