Every time somebody posts about their job, especially if comparing themselves to a SAHM, or talking about their DH they always state how their job is high pressure, full-on, very busy, very important etc. They usually earn a lot too but that goes hand in hand I suppose with these high-flying jobs.
It got me thinking about if there are any mumsnetters in mundane, low stress jobs that aren’t “very important” (I think all jobs are important both to the individual and society as a whole) because nobody ever talks about it. It’s as though posters have to validate their situation by saying how stressed and important they are.
I was a nurse and thinking about it it was very busy and demanding but I didn’t really think about it at the time. It’s only looking back. I didn’t consider myself important either. Most people are easily replaced in jobs.
I expect mumsnet has a higher than average amount of higher earners with very important, very busy, very stressful jobs. I suppose they could also be mundane so maybe mundane wasn’t the right word to use.
is your job, or your DH’s relatively mundane, unimportant and low pressure? If so, what do you/they do? Similarly, what hobbies do you/they have? it’s obviously cycling.
