1) This shit is hard

I was always one of those women who did not take stay-at-home moms seriously. I mean seriously, how stressful could their lives be? Boy, was I wrong. I invite anyone to come join me or any mama one day. There’s no sleeping in. My coffee gets cold before I even have a chance to take more than 1 sip. You own a tv? You’re going to catch up on all your favorite shows? NOPE! You don’t own your tv, your toddler does & it will be on constant cartoons all day, to the point of you knowing every single cartoon theme song by heart.

 

2) There are no “Sick Days”

You don’t feel good? Oh, I’m sorry…your boss wears diapers & she’s feeling fine! You want to take a “personal day”?  Have fun taking your toddler with you to go get your nails done. You need a 15-minute break? Better put on a DAMN GOOD cartoon, ninja style it to the bathroom so you won’t be seen, and lock the door.

 

3) You are a full-time maid now

I always wondered why stay-at-home moms made it seem like they were too busy to clean the house. I mean you have ALL day EVERYDAY to get that shit done. Nope, you don’t. As soon as you THINK that you have the house somewhat picked up, you find 5 dirty sippy cups, some foreign crusted food to the floor, only for your toddler to wake up from their nap where she has peed in the bed and goes straight back to messing up EVERYTHING that you just cleaned.
