Big respect for SAHM's

[Daddypops]

As a full time working dad, I must admit that I have previously thought that SAHM's must have an easy life but after spending the last two days with 3 ds's under 4, I have to say ... "Please take me back to work !! " Never again will I be tempted to tell my wife that she must have it easy. In fact, I'd say, being a SAHM must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. I have the utmost respect for you all !

yaya
we all lounge a round really

Thanks DP.

Wish someone would tell my d that

casn someone tellt his to all t he working mums ( not musmnetters I am sure) who when asked to do stuff for school say " i cant, I work"

cod explodes

i really do lounge about. Dh said calling me a housewife would imply that i do some housework

Hmmm...how come my DH always says 'I don't see what all the fuss is about' on the rare occasions he looks after DD?!

becasue they dotn dot he washing and cleaning too

and, and, and ...coddy, DD just so happens to be an absolute angel during that time and co-operates on everything (apparently!)

thanks daddypops. Don't forget to send your dw to a luxury spa occasionally to reward her for her hard work

So what do you think of those of us who work part time and are home the rest of the time,keeping on top of it all and juggling?

nice thread to see. even though I'm not a SAHM myself.
make sure you tell all your friends, won't you?

please don't let this be another contentious thread - big Macca thumbs for working mums whose DPs are so hopeless it is easier to just do it all themselves . . .

It goes without saying that SAHMs are ace - and I am very very .

Nice to hear the other perspective for a change! (although I shouldn't really grumble about DP, he watches over DS whilst I surf Mumsnet! )

Nice post Daddypops

i have a great amount of respect for SAHM, its not something i could do, i find it harder and more demanding being at home with the children.
anyone who thinks its easy looking after children and a house must be a fool.
three cheers for SAHMs!

Thanks DP!

Why thank you kind sir (curtsy)

Yes thanks lots, unfortunately my dp really does find it alot easier than me I do love being at home but find it really annoying when he manages to be a lot more organised than I am, thus rubbishing any arguement I have for "well you do it then". On the plus side it does mean I can have some time away from the house and not have to worry about it resembling a bombsite when I return. Oh well I can't have it all!!

thanks daddypops. tho i'm a lazy SAHm, we have both aprents here to ligthened the load.

Are you trying to become the favorite dad on here daddypops? Seriously, though, what a nice thing to see when I turned on my computer.

Why thank you Daddypops. It is nice to have a positive thing said about us.

Of course all we do is sit around all day, eat chocolates and watch tv! I wish (no I don't really!)

DH is of the same opinion, he can handle ds twins (nearly 3) for an afternoon alone. Keeping in mind this is only looking after them, not any housework or anything else. When I return home - usually from the supermarket, pah! - he has a well-worn look to him! I wait for the day I return to find him tied to a chair by ds twins, not me!

Thanks Daddypops - nice to get some appreciation!

Your dw is a very lucky woman!
