..... that waits until a half hour before DH is expected home to run through the house like a mad women trying to complete the daily household chores??? To tell you the truth I would much rather be stamping and scrapbooking all day :rolleyes:
LOL! Too funny....I do try to do a couple things during the day but most of the time when he calls to say he is on his way home I rally the kids to help me do a quick pickup and start supper!

OMYGOSH!!! I thought I was the only one!!! I do alot in the morning when I make my son's lunch and then when I come home from picking up son at school so basically....I....hmmmm....the rest of day
I play with kids, spend time on scs and scrapjazz, try stamping or scrapping, then a few minutes before dH gets home I run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I don't. I do the daily stuff before dh leaves for work (2nd shift) and then Thursday/Friday I do the major stuff like laundry, vacuum etc. Of course it helps that we're just the two of us.

LOL, I'm with ya Sister!!!! I think I have hubby trained to call just before he leaves the office. I tell him it's because "I need to know when to put dinner in the oven". True enough, but really it is to get me out of my stamp room!

Reading this, I have been laughing so hard! I was a SAHM for 17 years and I did the white tornado bit every evening, too! I always tried to use a little Windex or Pledge so it would at least smell like cleaning had been happening!
Now that I'm an empty nester working outside the home, we both do the housework on weekends.
This is hilarious!! I used to do this before my Mother got home from work, and now I do this before DH gets home. That's very sad!!!
I always try to make a point of doing a chore that was very visible--like cleaning off a chair or something. So when he walks in he'll see it cleared off. When this happens, he always says, "Boy, you've been busy Mama" and he thinks I've been busy all day long.

LOL... Gotta love it. I do this too. Isn't it terrible that we have to feel like we must earn or justify our creative time? I work full time, have one son 8, a bird, cat and husband...my mom is with me now and boy I feel like they're all my kids, I cook, clean and do the homework with my son, so I say.... if it didn't get done today... oh well it'll be there tomorrow. I try to have at least one hour in the evening to stamp... try being the key word.
ok--- so all I hear from stay at home moms is how hard it is and sooooo
stressful---- I pretty much knew that wasnt true--- just a matter of
laziness. No wonder so many poor husbands become so unhappy in their marriage. So many wifes expect them to work all day and then come home and help some more (all because the lazy wife was home being unproductive)
If you all knew how easy you had it sitting home and rotting your little brain.
Maybe you could volunteer your time and be a little productive to society in
some way. Or actually spend quality time with your children---they wont
be little forever--
Put yourself in your husbands situation----would you like it if you had to work and he got to stay home and "play" all day.
I just hope you all know how lucky you are to not have to work and to stop
please complaining about how hard motherhood is.

Not even going to dignify your post with anger. I'm only going to say that being a stay-at-home-mom doesn't just entail the cleaning of the house. Obviously you've never done it.

Real mothers prefer to spend time with the children---not
obsessing over stamping---- if this comment angers you-- maybe its
time to take a hard look at yourself and how you spend your time.
And yes I do believe stay at home moms should spend a little time
cleaning. I know so many SPOILED stay at home moms who have it
so easy. ( and many are overweight--- could it be the sitting at the computer or stamping or watching soaps hmmmmmmmm and not doing any work??
Seriously-- earn your keep. I'm just trying to open the eyes of the "blind"-
you will feel so much better about yourself and your children will love the attention. It cant feel very good wasting your life away.-- but then to each their own. just think about it---seriously
and yes i am a stay at home mom--- just not a lazy, neglecting my children, husband or house, stay at home mom.
anyone ever wonder why the divorce rate is so high? Reading the reality of so many lives explains a lot. Tomorrow why not try to be productive, play with the kids, clean the house and cook dinner for you lovely husband.
He will be happy--- really. and yes it can all be done. you will feel so much better with yourself. give it time. and you stay at home moms whos kids are in school, try helping out at school or in your community. Set an example for your kids and others. Jesus has taught me how to be a good person, hopefully you are also.
You know, if you would read between the lines instead of being so high and mighty, you would probably realize that most of these comments here were tongue in cheek. I'm sure we all work very hard (or have in the past, if our kids are grown, as mine are), and a little laughter and relief here and there is like a little ray of sunshine. I was a SAHM for many years, and I spent a lot of quality time with my kids, but I also found time to be involved in other activities (this was way before stamping, and we had no computers back then). I'm sure the same is true for these women who commented on this thread. My advice to you - lighten up!!! Comments like yours are not wanted on this site - we are trying to have a little fun.

Totally nasty post. Chill. Take a pill. These gals are only having fun and things are said tongue-in-cheek all the time on this site. Just Lovely, you are not acting Very Lovely right now. :(

Your post has proven you may need a refresher course.

aaaahhhh but did he really? Did he teach you to judge? to attack? to be so harsh and condeming? Who are you to pass judgment on others in such a way?
Your comments are rude and unnecassary and totally out of context to this thread...these gals were being funny and showing thier well rounded sense of humor, and having some fun....get over yourself.

I was just thinking to myself "Where is Shanon with her little troll symbol?" Okay, maybe it wasn't your troll smiley, but somebody had one. I think it's been a while since we had a troll here, I guess it was just our time. Hopefully it's gone now.

Wow, your posts are just a waste of bandwidth.
Where did those woman ever say that they neglected their kids and they didn't clean the house or cook dinner for their husbands? I'm pretty sure some of those posts said they cleaned and cooked. Just because they weren't doing it the whole day doesn't mean they were sitting on their butts doing nothing.
I am back at work full-time now but I have stayed home with my baby initially and it was harder than any work assignment I have ever had to do.
Before I had my baby I saw my SIL and my MIL stay home w/their kids and I thought that's awesome I'm going to do that too. After I had my baby, I realized that what they did was not easy and it takes a lot to be a Stay at home mother.
You are like the pot calling the kettle black, you are on the Internet so according to you - you are wasting time by not cooking, cleaning, playing with your kids, and catering to your husband's every whim. Who are you to judge? You say Jesus has taught you to be a good person but all you just did was turn all non believers away from God. The Bible teaches you not to judge so I would think twice on saying things like "Jesus has taught me how to be a good person.". Please read Matthew 7:1-2 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...2;&version=31;
I say kudos to these woman who do a little something for themselves during the day so that they can be happier with themselves and be a better wife or mother.
