Psssst pssst WOHM and SAHM

[planetpotty]

Urgh just Urgh is how I have been left feeling so i am going to leave a smiley face as a post to say I believe everyone is free to make their own choices in regard to working or not working after children. Also that I'm so grateful our foremothers fought for us to have the

Oops what's the thing for flowers then?

There ya go

Yummy, thanks.

but I like a good bunfight debate every now and again.

Me too but the whole issue has been done to death and always turns ugly and nobody seems to escape without feeling shit.

Yes, there are bunfight topics that just get recycled every now and again.

and because I curently dont do either, im a student

We should have a link to this thread as a stock response.

AIBU to think SAHM/WOHM/TheEnthusiasticTroll are this that and the other?!?!?! (Sorry Enthu but you get your own special category for not fitting either box but posting a smile anyway)

We all just link to this lovely thread, and walk off smiling and eating our biscuits and buns.

Lovely idea for a fred

Punk if we're going to do that then we need and emoticons.

It's nice to see a thread where lots of people are being decent to each other - mwah!

I second the chocolate and cake emoticons! :)

Wow the first thing I have won on MN, thanks

Well said OP!

I'm a housewife (if such things exist anymore) more than a SAHM as DD is 14.

But to all, regardless of the circumstances/decision/situation!

don't say housewife, you'll attract Xenia

I'm relatively new... Who's Xenia? Should I be hiding?

we are all different and what works one person is not for other

lets all live and let live

we are all doing our best

and we are fortunate to have choices in life

peace and goodwill to you all

Maybe go to advanced search and look her up Gilb, alongside the word "housewife"...

I have to say though I am enjoying using the word "housewife" myself, partly just to see people's reactions, having given up work a few months ago - when I get the inevitable "what are you going to do now?" questions.

More love to all mums

Agreed Super, that's possibly the best word to describe my role in the home 9-3 every day. DS isn't here 9-3 so I'm not doing much mothering. My plans for the day are MN, clean a bit, bake cakes then prepare dinner. I used to be the breadwinner, we're just having a swap for a while.

Did the othere thread go puff? I wanted to read the bubfight it. Agree op.

On a related note, it annoys me that people judge others on what there job is in the first place. When meeting new people, it's often the first question that's asked - "What do you do?"

I think it's shallow that people have to be defined in this way, ie by their job, I'd much rather find out what else makes people tick - what films, music, books, places do they like?
