Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I have a very love hate relationship with being a stay at home mom. I love it because I am with my children everyday. I see them everyday and I am the one raising them the way I want them raised. They know mommy is there all day everyday and I do believe that gives them a solid foundation of feeling secure. I don’t care what phase of life they are in, I will ALWAYS be there for my babies. I could be dying and I would get up to help them. Anything. They are the only people I love unconditionally. Everyone else has conditions. I absolutely despise being a stay at home mom because of the alarming amount of people who think they are better than me. I cant even tell you how many times I have had “what the hell do you do all day” thrown in my face. Um I don’t know, the hardest damn job in the world times three. Why I feel I have to validate myself is beyond me. I should just tell those people to Fuck off. Excuse the french…I’m fluent! I may not get paid to do what I do but it really irks me that people try to put me down like I am lazy for doing it! I am not lazy at all. I do it out of love. I wouldn’t have had children if I wanted them to be raised by nannies. They are only little for such a short time and I don’t want to miss that. When my husband is angry with me he throws it in my face that I do nothing. Ahhhh such lovely words. My sister actually once told me I only have kids so I don’t have to work. We are not close anymore and actually probably never will be. I am not forgiving. Sometimes I think I want some big career but I realize that I would only be doing that to shut up the negative comments. I will have a career when the time is right for me and my kids and I will be a rockstar at that just like I am at being a mom Im quite feisty these days…
