I am NOT....

oK...jUSt A LIttLE rANt......I am fully aware that being able to stay at home with my kids and be a stay at home mom is a privelege. I am also aware that I have an easy life compared to a lot of other women. I just strongly DISLIKE when working moms judge me. "If I were a stay-at-home mom, I would...." "When I was a stay-at-home mom, I never......" "Stay-at-home moms are so....." It makes me a little angry. It also makes me a little mad when other stay-at-home moms think that they know me and what I do and what I am capable of. I know that I am not perfect and I know that my kids are not perfect, my house is not perfectly clean, my yard is not perfect, etc., etc. But LAY OFF!! I do the best that I can! I try not to judge you so don't judge me! "If I were a working mom I would never......" It wouldn't be fair for me to say that about you. Just because I am "just" a mom does not mean that I am stupid or lazy or fat or boring or gossipy! I am me and I am still the same person that I was when I was working full-time and before I had kids. Guess what? I am still a person that is unique and deserves respect. So...if you can't say something nice....don't say anything at all. I could go on about this all day but I think that I will go cry and maybe eat some junk food. Then I am going to let this go, go enjoy my kids and my life. Besides....I have flowers to plant today and that makes anyone feel better. :)
