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.

Well we have worked out that there is more than one variety of SAHM. So I guess we have got a learning objective out of this. And a warm happy fuzzy glow...

Sorry ?

i've come to the conclusion, whatever you do in life, some fucker wants a pop at you
so you might aswell just do exactley what you want and what makes you happy

Thank you I know I am lucky. I understand some mums do not want to SAH and some do yet are not able to.

When all my children have grown I intend to relax still looking after our home and caring for my DH. Then one day DH and me shall move to a sunny climate and enjoy our golden years .
Although plans may never work out. :(

DH and I should I say sorry :)

If you've found ways to juggle things to everyone's satisfaction and happiness, including your own, then good for you !

Do agree slightly though that it might be best as your children get older to think more in terms of raising them to be good and capable adults (like you !) than in terms of looking after everyone. Just a thought

DH and I.

My own kids are totally different, they enjoy helping cook, they clean their rooms with music blaring out, they carry shopping in knowing that it really makes a difference to me when I'm exhausted, they make breakfast for eachother while playing horses, they get thier own clothes out the night before so they have more time to play in the morning, they help load the dishwasheer after I spent ages cooking. We are a team

O and of course get to pamper my my future grandchildren :)

Make youself too indisoensible and you'll never be able to move from the Apron String Zone.

Please have a ponder.

I'm only pedanty when I'm drunk. Good for you op. Marvellous. May your retirement be sunny with n'err a bridge to cloud your horizons.

Old northern saying that.

Thank you I know you were probably trying to be funny but thanks :)

Yes I am already very indispensable and very proud to be. :) Best feeling in the world feeling needed.

No. Genuinely. Happy for anyone who is making life work for them. It's all any of us are aiming for.

But I would disagree with your last point.

I'd much rather be wanted than needed.

Still. Whatever works for you op. Whatever works.

The graveyards are bursting with indispensable people

As my old Grandad would say.

Ah you see I know I am always wanted. Yet I will be very sad the day I am no longer needed. :(

Got about half way through this thread and all I can say without being rude is grrrrrrr that's how it makes me feel

lol that's very strange unfortunately the graveyards are full of all kinds of people. :)

Honestly, ProudMum, whatever makes you happy, but I do believe that "needed" is not too neat the top of many people's Best Feeling Ever List.

Enjoy what you do, and remember that you've only got to justify your lifestyle to yourslef.

Who is Eva BTW? Is she your dd?
