I have been both throughout my lifetime and going to work is a much easier task than being a SAHM any day. People should either fully mind their own business or not pass judgement.

If you say you are a SAHM, some people even have the nerve to then ask, well what do you actually do all day then? Well for starters, I don’t have a cleaner, a nanny or gardener and I cook all meals! I’m chief driver, book keeper, household fixer, need I go on? My theory is, a dollar saved is worth more than a dollar earned.

I used to refer to myself as just a mum. Not anymore! It’s a demanding, highly rewarding, non stop 24/7 job with no financial incentive. I’m proud to be a sahm!

I think people should mind their own business and as a SAHM I thank him for speaking out against this idiots rambling.

Parents have the right to decide whether they will be a stay at home parent or place the child in the care of another person/people so he/she can work. I know of one Mum who places her child in “occasional” care (there is no permanent vacancy) so she learns to interact with other children. No relatives with children live less than a day drive and none of the neighbours have children.

I have no idea why people judge. Good on him for standing up for his wife.

He is proud of his wife and so he should be!

I’m a stay at home mum and love what I do, doesn’t matter what other people think. But sweet this husband is standing up for his wife and values what she does.

Whenever I answer this question – I tell people what I do with my time. A job is a job and not what I do! I list the things I enjoy doing with my time, my hobbies and pursuits. We are not defined by our roles. It is far more interesting to discuss what you do with your time rather than list your job, it opens gateways to interesting conversations. Then maybe at the end….by the way I…..for a job. No one ever needs to justify their life choices to a table full of strangers anyway!

I don’t understand why people care so much about what others think of them. I’m a SAHM and would not care what anyone else thinks of my choices.

This is all fine and dandy but do we really need the five (5) “F” in this story …if I had written this story I am sure moms would have not approved it. Come on mom team where are your proof reading and fool language rules gone.

Great to hear a father supporting his wife like this. I agree with him that you never get this time back, so make the most of it! I stayed home with my daughters for 4 years and have a Batchelor degree, I had a full time job before having the children and now that I’m back working- it feels like I never left!

My partner could not survive if I wasn’t a stay at home mum, no way he could manage work, school, appointments, cooking, cleaning, taking the kids to sports, shopping ect on top of his job and nor could I work and still manage
