Am I the only working mom out there who finds that asking advice from another mother who is a stay at home mom is like asking a scientist how to make ice? Seriously.
I have a few acquaintances who have become stay at home mom's over the past few years. Their whole life revolves around their child and they are always posting stupid ass DIY kid shit because they're broke and unlike me, have to use their imaginations to play with their babies. I just go buy shit.
I've been a member of the website BabyCenter.com since I was pregnant. I liked being able to post on the forums questions I had while I was pregnant about pregnancy and now that I have had my son, I frequently post questions about teething and stupid shit that I have no idea about. A lot of the responses are these long drawn out wikipedia like responses, which often criticize the responses of other first time, confused mama's like me. How the shit am I supposed to know to put a wash cloth in the freezer?
I can make a mean margarita though. Just sayin.
I don't know if some of these women are stuck in depression 1950's relationships or if they honestly love spending every hour of their day speaking in high pitches baby talk, but I respect what they do. I don't want to come off that I don't - because I could NEVER do that shit. I love my son to death, but I need adult interaction wayyyy more than that. I was that chick that begged the doctor to go back to work early after her c-section.
I'm a SAHM and I have NO clue what I'm doing. We're not broke, so I go buy shit too. Other SAHM look at me like I just crawled out of the sewer when I whip out the disposable diapers and formula bottles when I'm in public because I feel too self-concious to whip my tit out in front of other people.
ReplyDeleteLilith, I'm so broke that I probably SHOULD make some shit, but I don't. Your comment made me LOL! Some SAHM's are just nutso.
