Following on from a post yesterday( who did work) but everyone assumed they didn’t. If they don’t sign on ,I don’t understand all the negativity. Or why some people get so worked up about something that doesn’t affect them .

OP posts:

Jealously. And maybe deemed insensitivity from the SAHM depending on the context. If it’s the post I’m thinking of they were saying they were looking forward to a day of Netflix when the kids were back at school and people were saying good for her but what about all those who have to work and don’t get any break. In that case the OP did actually work but not typical 9-5 hours so the negativity was definitely misconstrued. But can also see how people working full time who then have their kids at home evenings and weekends would be a little put out that they can’t just have a day on the sofa. Don’t think it was a dig at SAHM per se

You're right though, whether or not someone else works doesn't affect me. I would imagine though it has hit people at a very sensitive time if they're feeling as I described in my previous post

I would imagine it's because there's a lot of people that are absolutely exhausted from work, that are returning to work after Christmas having not had a break, are on their knees and are beyond miserable at the thought of going back to work. Whether or not they're signing on, a lot of these non-working posts recently are incredibly goady....
