not a job? what??

[smedrock]

how to you reply when someone tells you being a mum isnt a real job or asks you when you're going back to work?

snappy replies needed!

That's right: it is a role, a responsibility, an undertaking.

A job is merely something we - or others - do to simply aid us in our role as parents.

Oh, that was garbled

I have to respectfully disagree Buffy

Even in Matriarchal societies - and yes we do have them in 2013, just not in the UK or Ireland - "jobs" and "motherhood" are separate (although intertwined) things.

I personally find International Women's Day is an educational eye opener.
