Was chatting to a friend who told me she had had a bad day at work, was stressed out, deal wasn't going through as planned etc. i said, tell me about it, yesterday was a disaster, all 3DC seemed on a mission to drive me mad! Took and hour just to get everyone dressed and i didn't even dare go to the supermarket.

her response was 'well you chose to be at home with them' Confused

well, yes i did (although childcare for 3 would make me working impossible anyway) but you chose to be an accountant. whats the difference? just because i chose to be a SAHP does that mean i cant have bad days and need to offload? do you think I'm actually that interested in the inner workings of your job? I'm a friend, so i listen, why cant you do the same for me?

this is not the first time someone has said this too me either.

AIBU to think SAHPs are allowed to moan about their 'day job' as much as anyone else??

what do you think when people reply in a sort of smug way,
say if someones complaining about work or sah
"oh ive got to admit i dont miss work/sah"

ive heard a mutual friend say this to another mutal friend[we all used to work together]
and ive often thought wow that sounds smug
but it wasnt said to me so i didnt say anything
