to feel fed up when people keep asking me if i've got a job yet

[longlongway]

My youngest dd started school in September. I have been off work since i had my ds 7 years ago. I really enjoy being a SAHM, loved it when they were babies and the whole toddler thing. Although it would be nice to have a bit more money, we have a good life and pay the bills. My dh is happy with our situation and very against the dc going to before and after school childcare. I am starting to feel that a lot of people think what i do is unworthwhile.

You'll grow a thicker skin. Youngest DC turned 13 last month, believe me the people who used to ask if I was going to go back to work/have more DC have long given up!

I don't care about whether what I do is worthwhile any more. All that matters to me is that I'm happy and my family are happy, that should be the only thing that influences your decision .

Given the current economic climate I think it's questionable ethically for someone who doesnt need a job to be taking a job someone else is desperate for.

They're just making conversation, showing a little interest and possibly a bit of concern. I've never asked the same of women I know in your situation, but I have worried about them a bit.

I guess they know what they're doing though so I keep my concerns to myself.

Thanks for the replies. Please do not spend time feeling concerned or worried about me Jenai. I wouldn't change my life for anything.
