AIBU to think the SAHM MNers rattling off lists of daily feats

[PickingAfight]

they are heroically accomplishing while being SAHMs (cooking, washing, ironing, etc) are being at best naive and at worst disingenuous. Who do they think does all that stuff in the non-SAHMs' households, house elves?

What about part timers who work during school hours !!!!

We have to do housework, etc. with child underfoot, I think we need a special sub catergory.

By the way, I am a SAHM so that someone else can have my old job and work rather than claim JSA. I'm contributing personally to getting those scroungers off their benefits...
I'm charitable like that

Meanwhile I sit at home and MN all day while my DS occupies himself. Except now, while he's asleep in bed with my DH (who's working nights)

I am thoroughly confused would define myself as a SAHM but actually make quite a lot of money by being a SAHM. Can I therefore have a foot in both camps?!

"We're supposed to throw the buns" Honeydragon, I've always suspected that on MN it would be more a fight to get to the best ones rather than the wastage that would be caused by throwing..

Fat people stop eating thread?

I' m in Tee's sub-group, and have decided to throw my buns up in the air and catch them in my mouth.

HTH

Kerala..... Secret please.

Ok guys. As much fun as our little party is, I must tear myself off and go for a nice walk do something useful around the house.

Sorry, that is Tea's subgroup.

proudnscary - How do you manage?? It must be sooo much work managing all those staff

I thought we had official sign-off from Rebecca Mumsnet yesterday that hun fights were the way forward?

I'm a SAHM. Today I did the washing up, I'm still in PJs. Go me

AIBU to think all the fat tracksuit-wearing benefit scroungers on DLA should walk to school so there is room for me to drive my DC in my giant SUV? It is so inconvenient having to drive over their mobility scooters all the time.

WOHASAHM (woe-has-am]
definition: mother who combines part-time work with caring for her children at home.

For TeaOneSugar and Kerala

Latsia -

more bored then anything else

Woe has am....

Is that Mandarin?

AIBU to wonder how dissatisfied people are with there own lives if picking at other peoples decisions make them feel better?

Work outside the home, be a stay at home parent, whatever you like just as long as it makes you happy

SAHP vs WOHP, the only reason to bring it up is cos you personally feel you have made the right decision and want everyone to validate that, just leave it alone

If people want to make lists, it's all good
Mine would be quite boring really
(but I'll tell u if u want :)

I'm dressed

So where do the buns get thrown before I start working at home?

I'd love a good iced finger right now.

Where's Xenia?

Now I feel stoopid. I've been pronouncing it 'woe ha sam' all this time.

Does anyone remember pink iced buns?
They were lovely, haven't seen them for ages tho

Being part time is a bit like being a liberal democrat in mumsnet political terms don't you think?

I also like an iced Do-nut from time to time.

You need to add "I have more children and you have just the one" or "I have one and it's harder than 2/3/4" etc to the list to debate.

Sometimes we all need to pat ourselves on the back for just getting up and getting through the day and other days we need a pat for getting x y z done. There will always be someone that does more or less than you!

The only confectionary you should throw at ceiling is the little disc of orange in Jaffa cakes it sticks and holds in an extremely pleasing fashion. And also acts as a pleasant surprise for the homeowner when it falls of three months later.

"WTAF is THAT!!!!!????" they scream in happy delight at its discovery.

I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.
