Would you think SAHM are over worked

@LadyDuck Hmm you may have point there.. I guess you are right.

@hereandthere Yeah.. but I hoped it would be wrong sometimes..

Yes there is and boy it is SO true. We can never catch a break

@sofssu I cannot even begin to imagine how busy you must be. No children here and my hubby's two son and daughter are grown-up and in their own lives. Even with that I am busy keeping house, lots of work on my PC and a very demanding cat. With all of that I sometimes think I'll take one day and do nothing but that thought always gets pushed to the back burner and I still haven't had one restful day. The best you can do like I do is to try to find a way to balance everything. Of course I have it easier than you with no kids to consider so I hope you can find a way to slow the pace a bit.

Can't agree with you more.. Darn I am going to protest.. I need a paid vacation

@crazyhorseladycx Though I do love doing all these things.. there are days when I don't do it out of love.. I hate to be complaining.. but I guess we all have those days.

yepperz, ya get married 'n got a hubs, ya ne'er get a vacation - always a meal to be cooked, somethin' to clean, laundry to be done....

@simone10 I guess just being available all the time means more things need attention.

@sofssu There was no start and end times with being a SAHM. You had to be available all the time.

@cahaya1983 Yeah all my me time gets eaten up by the work time. I guess I was better off being a full time working mom. I could just put my feet up and say I'm done.

@sofssu I understand. I have a friend who quit working to be a SAHM with 2 small children. She found it overwhelming and got into depression for a while. I remember she told me that her husband even suggested that she goes back to work because she used to be a "happier" person. It's not easy, but I'm sure it's a temporary stage.

@cahaya1983 No I quit working year ago.. and have loved my peace. I have moved into a huge home with so much work to be done.. that it tires me out and we have guest every now and then.. house guest because I am a SAHM. LOL .. Maybe I have to tell people I am a WAHM now.

@crazyhorseladycx No I don't think I can handle 2,3 jobs. I used to wake up at 4.45 everyday and go to bed at 11 Pm after all the work and feel like I couldn't concentrate on the interviews and stuff I did when I worked full time. However, now I have guests dropping in at the drop of a hat. They just land up here and I am only fetching and fending all the time.. LOL

I was both Stay At Home Mom and Working Mom of 1. Either way, I was always on the go.

@sofssu well no wonders they come to hang out 't 'cher place! yer gonna 've to stop spoilin' those folks 'n make a bit 'f time fer yerself e'ery now 'n then.

@shellyann36 You are right .. we would be quite rich.. and our husbands poor

@SIMPLYD Yup.. I do b ut they seem to be non existent. I really don't know how the work creeps up on me.. I promise youI really don't know how. I will have guests staying with us this weekend and i have been running around non stop getting things done.

@sofssu Yes, I have a little experience with it. The kids grow up so fast, however you don't realize how fast til they are grown and gone. Oh I am sure, I been there before.

@TexanTornadoThat is experience speaking. I know for sure I will miss these day.. But I am ever so exhausted.. The guest really take their toll on me too.

@mom210 Now you talk..
