Most annoying things I hear as a SAHM😀

Anyone in the mom community knows that with being a mom comes comments. Comments and questions about literally everything😅 some helpful, some not so much. As a stay at home mom (SAHM) I feel like we get a lot of unnecessary questions and comments about our lives being at home. I wanted to share some I’ve heard and I absolutely know others have heard as well!

😀 “I could never just stay home”: This one is annoying because I already know you probably couldn’t stay home just from the attitude you had when you said that🤷🏽‍♀️ also, we never “just stay home” we are such an active family inside and outside our home. As nice as it would be to, we can’t “just stay home”😂

😀 “What will you do if you break up?”: This question really bothers me because why ask someone that as if it’s going to happen? As if breaking up is in the life plan for us, or that it’s inevitable. If something tragic happens we have back up plans, but to outright ask someone that is unnecessary.

😀 “Only boys in your house… that’s rough”: It’s not rough, sometimes it’s crazy yes, but I don’t think it’s rough. Also, this just makes me feel like having boys and living with a man is a negative thing just because they’re boys. But I know for a fact if we had daughters and me, they’d be saying the same thing🙄

😀 “Your kids should be learning and socializing”: To assume my kids aren’t learning or socializing is quite arrogant. Asking how I teach and socialize them would be more acceptable. My kids are always learning and I take time out of our day to teach them colors, numbers, letters, writing, etc. basically what is age appropriate for them. Also, we participate in several kid friendly activities and classes, we visit parks, and always encourage our boys to say hi and try to play with others.

😀 “Make sure you have a plan incase he leaves you”: I don’t know why people think this! My man is not going to up and leave my children. I know this for a fact, I’m very confident in my relationship. But even if I wasn’t this still ain’t something you say to someone. I understand the worry and concern over it however, this is not how you address it.

😀 “When do you think you’ll go back to work?”: I’ve been asked this a handful of times. I don’t ever answer it, I always say I might or I might not. It all just depends on what I want and what we want/need as a family.

😀 “At least you don’t have to work”: I WORK ALL DAY WITHOUT GETTING PAID! Moms who stay home are just lounging or cuddling babies on the couch all day. We are caring for our child/ren, their every need and want. We are taking care of our homes, we are running errands, trying to give our kids fun throughout the day, keeping track of bills, taking care of pets, etc. yes, we do choose to stay home, yes we understand this comes with the position, BUT I can’t stand a person who think SAHMs don’t work 😠

😀 “What do you guys do all day?”: Sometimes I just want to say nothing… we do nothing all day. That’s all I have to say on this one😂

😀 “Will you work when your kids are in school?”: This feels similar to being asked when I’ll go back to work. Also, after raising my children to school age, and knowing I’ll be getting them to school, home from school, to afterschool activities, etc. I might not ever go back to work🤷🏽‍♀️ we’ll just have to wait and see!

Comment anything you’ve been told or asked that had you like “😀” or “🙄”. And let me know if you can relate to any I shared!
