I believe that being a stay at home is something extremely special! I think that it’s no better or no worse then the next Job!!! Does that make sense! I think maybe she does that, because sometimes ppl look at stay at home Mom’s and Wives like they have it easy…and maybe it’s a “defense” you know what I mean?

I hope I have helped!!

I hear you, I work for a woman that sounds similar. She has 4 children and has a cleaning lady twice a week, full time nanny, babysitters every afternoon and she is constantly stressed! She gets everything she wants and is extremely spoiled. I think a stay at home mom is hard work though women who work outside of the home and are moms as well have an even tougher time!

Well, it’s an accomplishment if she can cook, clean, wash clothes, and sew. I think that’s some of the mom basics. But if she has help, then its no accomplishment.

It’s a blessing to be able to stay home with your little ones these days! She sounds conceited and spoiled…

I am a part-time stay at home mom (only work while the kids are in school) and am most thankful for everything my husband does to support our family.

if this women was a single mother of 3 and was driving an expensive car and wearing a diamond ring that she bought herself with her own hard earned money then she would be the accomplished one living off a man and being supported by him regardless of how many of his kids you have is not an accoplishment any body can have kids and pop them it’s how you raise them and what you do with your own life that measures the accomplishment and succes of oneself

YES! DEFINITLY! I have a 4 month old son and I can’t believe how much work just 1 baby is and I still want to have 2 more kids (even though my husband only wants 1 more). I decided to go back to work part time, but have changed my mind. When my husband and I are financially stable, I’m going to be a stay home mom. I can’t imagine what its going to take w/ 2 or even 3 children, but having 1 is already a lot of work! You just won’t understand unless you have kids.

About this other women, it sounds like her husband makes enough money for her to drive a SUV (that seats 9) and definitly enough money to upgrade her ring. She is accomplished. She can juggle raising 3 kids.

Well, I stay at home and I think I am a big part of the reason my husband IS a success-but I drive a sub-compact and he inherited the diamonds in the ring lol…

I have read that at some point in our culture, being able to stay at home became a status symbol like a big house or a luxury car…she could be one of those types…

This woman sounds like she is insecure. I think it’s a shame that there has to be a war between SAHM and career moms. Everyone is different! For some women, staying home IS an accomplishment, depending on what she has to put up with at home. One year my husband traveled 212 nights! So I was “single” 2 nights out of three and yes that IS A JOB!

I would let it go in one ear and out the other, or avoid her if she irritates you.

I think it is just as much a measure of a success as a full time career. However, to me, that success is measured in my children when they do things like get rid of the friends they know are not good influences with me saying anything. Or when they tell me the truth before I even ask. I want me Children to know staying at home is a choice my hubby and I make b/c we choose to do it. We sacrifice big time so I can stay at home. I am educated in a degree that would make nice money. But I have my whole life to work and one chance to raise my kids. This is my choice and my hubby stands behind me 100000% Being a stay at home mom is a JOY! I LOVE it and I do feel accomplished and successful, but not because we drive nice cars or change out diamonds or whatever (which we don’t). But we are proud for what we have and worked hard to get it. We are showing our kids that as well…

stay at home moms are found to be very valuable because of the cost of childcare and the fact that by being a stay at home mom you have a 24/7 job where as the working husband gets to take breaks (usually) and if something goes wrong the father isn’t usually blaimed since he wasn’t around for most of the raising. I know that doesn’t make sense to most people but in all reality stay at home moms are worth a lot. Think about the cost of daycare for just one child (about $150/ wk) and mulitiply for how long the mom (or dad) stays at home and see how much money the stay at home mom just saved the family. Most stay at home moms stay home because they would make less than what daycare would cost.

With that said i don’t think that people should act like they are the ones bringing in the money if they stay at home but she should be proud of being at home and raising her kids especially if that is what she wants to do. Maybe she feels like her greatest accomplishment is raising her kids (which is a hard 24/7 job).

Honestly, most people don’t think being a stay at home mother is considered a JOB, but trust me, Im in the same boat, and it is just as hard as any man out there busting his butt working in 100 degree weather LOL - On the other hand, I don’t think it’s fair for this woman to allow her husband to bust his butt working to provide for her and their children, just to turn around and have her spend it all on things that are needed - if you ask me, a 25 dollar wedding ring says “I love you more than life it’s self” just as much as a constantly upgraded diamond ring!! I personally would never do that, I love my rings and I cherish the ground my hubby walks on because I know he busts ass to provide for us. Like I said, it IS a JOB to stay home with children, but for her to turn around and spend her hubbys hard earned money like that on things that are good enough, (the ring) and just doesn’t cut it for her - is bull crap, that money could go through their 3 childrens future education!! Just my opinion. I am a stay at home mother of 3 children, drive a Ford Explorer, year 1996, my rings cost 160 dollars at 70% off - and I know none of these things would have been possible without my husband!!

If you can stay home its great, most mothers has to work now days to make ends meet.
We always have braggers in this world,normally they brag to cover up the truth.
You hang in there,driving a SUV only causes you to worry about gas prices more?

I understand where you are coming from

I am a stay at home mom and beleive me it is a non paying seldom recognized as being accomplished job

I love my kids and love my life but I know I will want something more. I am finishing school so I can work outside to home in a few years, when the babes have grown up a bit

Sounds to me like she has some one to pay for her major spending, oh well to each his own …..

A stay at home mom has nothing to do with success, it’s a personal choice. Very poor, very rich, and in-between people stay at home. Sounds like the young woman has insecurity issues and is focusing on the wrong things in life (diamonds and cars, not kids).

Success is related to how much a person brags. Truly successful people don’t feel the need to brag about things they have.

Well honestly she sounds like a major beyotch but I don’t think that has anything to do with being a SAHM. LOL

That being said, being a SAHM is an accomplishment. It is a 24/7 job that you don’t get paid for and usually get little appreciation too. But making sacrifices to stay home and raise your children and run a household is something to be proud of. Personally, I chose to stay home because I didn’t want someone else caring for my children 8+ hours a day. Not to mention that my teacher’s salary wouldn’t contribute much to our income after paying for childcare and other costs. I know that I contribute a tremendous amount to our household even though I do not bring home a paycheck. Everything my DH and I have, I contributed to in some way.

It is not easy all the time, but being a parent usually isn’t. There are many different challenges that a mom who works out of the home faces as well. So I applaud ALL parents who are doing the best they can for their children no matter what their “employment”

I think we shouldn’t look down on mother’s who stay home and any mother will tell you it is work. But people who brag about ANYTHING will put you off. I think it’s her personality you’re responding to, not the plight of all mothers. Besides, nowadays there are hundreds of jobs mother’s can do from home. A lot of women are finding running internet businesses, gaming and writing are legitimate ways to make more money than their husbands and they get to do it at home. She shouldn’t act like she’s it and a bit if she’s done nothing for her money though. :-))

I want to know how she did it! Not that I want an SUV or anything, but I would love to be in the financial situation to stay at home with my future kids (and the one in my belly).

I don’t think being a stay at home mom is a measure of success. It all depends on the situation and it’s a personal decision of both mom and dad. There are wealthy stay at home moms as well as less wealthy stay at home moms. I am 33 weeks pregnant and am now going to be a stay at home mom but I am definitely not in the wealthy bracket. It’s a choice that my husband and I have made because we both want our son to receive the love, attention and care he needs from me. Not from a babysitter. I think if a woman is able to be a stay at home mom, it is a blessing… whether rich or poor. The thing that matters most is that the children are being well taken care of.

I don’t think it’s a measure of success, but I certainly think that it’s much easier for a mom to stay at home when her husband can provide more than enough on his own. It sounds like the woman you know is spoiled. It has, however, been my experience that a lot of the stay-at-home moms in my area are rich. I KNOW this isn’t true of all of them, and maybe not even of most of them. It’s a lot easier to make that commitment when you’re not financially strapped though.
