Hi I just wondered if IABU but I am starting to get royally pissed off Angryat my friends who make snarl comments now and again at me being a sahm full time to my dd’s.Its starting to grate on me.AIBU to feel like this or am I just a little over sensitive.My husband works away most of the week and for me to put my dd’s into nursery it wouldn’t be beneficial with what my salary would bring home.

What exactly do they say?

yanbu. i don't think some people understand how hard it can be being a sahm. I'm not a sahm but I'm on maternity leave and in finding it really hard to look after a 3 month old and a 21 month old plus find time to keep the house looking half decent and find time to cook. Dh works long hours and is hardly ever around to help. so if suggest telling your friend to f off, put the dcs to bed and pour yourself a glass of wine. you deserve it

I don't really understand why they would do such a thing if they are friends, what sort of thing are they saying, and are you saying anything to them that makes them react that way?

I was a sahm for 15 years as my partner worked away a lot, gradually my children started pre -school, primary, secondary needed me but, not as much ( they still do Smile) they all left home, went to university, 1 got a apprenticeship. The friends they had who's parents put their career before their children are so mixed up ( some have such a reaction to exams they throw up due to not being 'good enough') Anyway, do what you feel is right for your family, that is what matters. Stuff the judgy people. I now have a low key successful business that I have built up over the past 3 years. Still have people go on about their £40,000+ jobs. I can smile quietly to myself and think 'good for you' not declaring salary but wish there was a fuck off imojie. They are probably a bit envious x
