when women put up on facebook, 'Full time mummy' as their job title?

Surely I can't be the only one cringing? Or maybe I am? Wine

No Y.N.B.U. Not every mother has the option of being a "full time mummy".

So envy is the appropriate reaction then? Not 'cringing'?

My cousin has 'MILF' as her job description. Yes, MILF.

Grin Shock Grin Oh dear.

Arsenic. I'm not envious but I can see how mums could be envious and resentful. I chose to be a working mum. I could have gone on I.S but I wanted my independence but now single mums aren't given the choice even if they wanted to stay at home and yes not all married mums are allowed to stay at home.

What I find more offensive is people who constantly feel the need to judge, belittle and mock others for their choices. Seriously why are people so rude about others? Especially women, it seems. So what if they've put 'full time mummy'? I'm pretty sure they aren't implying that people who work are only mothers part time. They're simply saying they care for their children on a full time basis. Seriously OP, stop worrying about what other people are doing on social media.

Well envy is natural but resentment is best batted away isn't it?

A lot of SAHMs now are there not by choice, or are counting pennies to manage it. Lots of people have to compromise their ideal lives now.

Worst is def- "university of life"

I saw a great signature on a forum once, it said
"Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart, all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I am imaginary smart"
