Happy Yeaster

I've always wondered about what it would be like to be a Stay At Home Mom ("SAHM") and I'm sure I would be very busy if I didn't have The Maid at home, but if I did, what on earth would I be doing with the acres and acres of time on my hands.

Anyway, I'm going to find out in a few months' time. Perhaps I'll even learn to drive.

All the wondering started afresh because I signed The Son up for an Easter Egg hunt with a bunch of other kids living in the same estate, not realising that it was organised by a SAHM and therefore she was going to schedule it today, Tuesday, 7 April 2009, at 4.30pm. When I got her confirmatory email, I was furious - there won't be a single egg left to find within 1 km by the time I get home from work and get The Son to the venue. In fact, since it will be nightfall by then, we won't be able to find anything anyway. How dare she!

Then I realised. SAHMs have very different days and schedules. Sigh.

I ran into the SAHM-organiser the other day on the way back from work, and she had just finished a jog on the beach or something with her son. I had just finished a day full of emails and irritation.

Did you just finish work, she asked.

Yes, why?

Oh dear. You work so late, she said.

I shrugged. How do I say that this is the usual time I get home most days.

It's a no win situation. If you are a stay at home mother, you are thought to be too lazy to work. If your a full time worker with children, then you are thought selfish because your not spending all your time with your them.

You have a great read here by the way!
