To be a traditional sahm ??

[ProudMum4Eva]

I personal have never been flamed for my choice in life, however I see many people who continuously get some sort of insult for their life choices. So here I thought I would share all for the first time.
I am 34 years old I got married at 18 straight from college. I am happily married with five wonderful children who I adore and do everything for. I have NEVER worked (outside the family home) my DH has always worked. He works traditional hours leaves about 8:10 mon-fri and is home for around 5:30. I do everything in the home cleaning, cooking, bathing the younger children, ironing and so on. I dote on my children and my husband. I love it they do not need to help me in the house I look after them and that is what I am good at.

Not sure I see the point of the thread tbh

Spiffing. Good for you.

You do understand that your choices are yours alone and don't apply to anyone else right?

Good for you

well jolly good for you..

Totally your family's choice.

My twopenneth id you are doing your DC a major disservice by doing everything for them.

... and your point is?

If it makes you happy, knock yourself out. I say that as a committed feminist. I would go to the barricades for any woman's freely chosen life. I would just say that studies have shown that children who do chores do 'better' in life. Maybe see your role more as how to bring them up to be successful adults than how to look after them now. Do they have jobs in the house at all?

No Yanbu

I'm pleased for you

There are posters here (as on every website) who look for reasons to insult people. I'm not one. I'm glad you're happy with your life and if that's all you wanted to say then no further discussion is needed. If you posted wanting to provoke disagreement, then that's on the same level as the people who throw gratuituous personal insults around really. But I always think the best of people so thanks for sharing!

YANBU. Whatever works for you. But why are you seeking opinions?

YABU for having text-speak in your username.

[Oops, did I type that thought out loud?]

Do whatever is good for you and your family. Its not unreasonable to stay at home if you can afford to do so, and its not unreasonable to go to work either.

And?

If I was feeling REALLY rude I'd post 4

ahem

4

there ya go

And?

Great! Good for you.
But dont forget to teach your sons all the domestic tasks they need to know as its highly unlikely they'll find a woman (or man) to love who will do it all for them, like their mother...

Ooh, Freudian I love the way the style of your post goes with your name.

No I was not aiming for a "bun fight" I was just reading through some threads and saw a lot of advice for Working mums so was reaching out to other SAHMs to talk about it that was all nothing else meant by it.

I am a sahm, but rubbish at housework and no way do I do everything for my children!

Although I can now see why SAHM's do not post a lot

"I don't think anyone else gives a fuck tbh.".

^^This.
