Re: Things or people that really get under your skin!
I also can't stand when (and I love my friends) my SAHM friends talk about their "work" and how hard it is.
listen, lady...I'm working full time and being a wife/mom at home.
STFU.
I know what it means to be a SAHM. I do it in the summer. Sure, you have to get shet done during the day, but it's in NO WAY the same as a 9 to 5 job. So when I say, "WHEW! That was a long week..." don't say, "OMG, I soooo know it." No you don't. You have one or two children and a husband who works to give you money. lol. I have 34 kids at school and 2 at home and a husband who works to barely pay his bills. Without my check, we'd be in some box behind the market. So...seriously. I'd LOVE to be a SAHM. But it's not work like work is work. Just my opinion, of course, but come on....kinda stupid to compare the two. I am up at 5:15am...friends sleep til 8 with the kids...or take the kids to school and then go home! SIGN ME UP!

LOL I laugh at that because my kids know what answer they will get if they ask for something: You got your own money for that... do you have enough left to pay for it?
I don't even have to finish the sentence, just a look is often times enough.
Often, blandishments. something, as an action or speech, that tends to flatter, coax, entice, etc.: Our blandishments left him unmoved. We succumbed to the blandishments of tropical living.

My children know all too well that I, nor my husband, are ATMs.
Favorite Bill Cosby skit:
Child: But we're rich!
Dad: No, let me get this straight. *WE* are not rich. Your mother and I are rich. *YOU* have nothing.

I love that quote. I think between my dad and Bill Cosby (both from the same part of Philly), I got that very mentality instilled in me. Oh and I remember that episode, my kids and I actually watch Cosby show sometimes on Netflix... it's not dated much at all.

ha!! i disagree!! Working at a factory would be a hell of a lot easier imo!! (And yes I have worked at a factory lol) Then again.. I don't have the luxory of tossing off my kids on someone else like some people do.. or using a daycare.. :/ Man... I seriously miss going to work... and sure it wasn't a 9-5 job... it was a 2pm to about 3or 4am job.. but hell it was easier imo. I do envy some other SAHM's especially when they boast about being able to toss their kids off on a relative or friend or neighbor then go out DRINKING or CLUBBING!!
