Parenting is not a hobby!

HAHAHA, funny question though legitimate. :P Just take it as a category, my friend. It is incorrectly shown as a hobby. Just take it as a category. :PP

:) that is so funny and yet so true! i never thought of it. i just went ahead and accepted it so that i can vent with other mothers and get helpful tips from other moms. i hadnt really given it much thought. but you are so right, it isnt a hobby. im sure my husband would disagree though. lol. he is convinced that my days are a breeze compared to his! yet, he has such a hard time letting me get away for an hour while he stays home with our son. when i was working on weekends, he would go and "visit" his parents, so that he could either relax or go to sleep. i told him that his non-sense had to stop. he had to stay home with our son and feel what it was to actually spend alone time with him. he needed to get used to haveing to know when our son was hungry and how to play with him. i ended up quitting my job, but i wonder if that was a mistake, becuase my husband has forgotten very quickly how much energy it takes to raise a child. especialy now that he is walking and getting into everything.

Yes, this is true! I even came across life as a hobby once! I think the things I've done with my life, or want to do with my life would be a more accurate category for "parenting".. I have joined the religion as a hobby group, however.. because it's a good size group.. but I don't think of that so much as a hobby either.. though it is enjoyable! :))

I think mylot should be contacted so they can address this, it's funny though. I wonder how many other bloopers like this we'll find along the way. Parenting was and is still the hardest job I've ever had, and it is a full time job, 24-7.

Ha! I add things just as categories too. :) I totally agree though. I can't stand it when people talk like they're only a parent part of the time. Even if you're divorced and don't see your kids much, you're still 100% a parent all the time. My kids are pretty much first on my mind whenever I do anything. Even if it's just seeing something that reminds me of them. I'm a SAHM to my DS (15 months) but also have a SS15 who lives with me and SD12 who lives with her mom. I think about them just about as much as DS.

I know what you mean. I think they need to work on their default settings. I've noticed how many times something I have responded to is listed in "hobby" and other things that don't reaaly fit.
