I feel a SAHM is the best and hardest job! People just dont understand that you are the daycare provider, cook, house keeper, and more! So yes you must just put your foot down!
I am not a SAHM but my husband and I have worked our work schedules so one of us is always home with our DD. And people think we are NUTS. My husband works 11pm to 9am(4days a week) and I work 9:30am to 6pm. He sleeps during her naps (2-3hours) and once i get home (3-4hours more). I always hear things from other people that he "must be tired all the time" and "that has to be hard". I feel so guilty. We do this so we dont have to have a sitter. We both feel that its important to rasie our child and not have others do it. If one of us could stay home all the time we would (and are working on paying down debit so in the future we hope we can). I just wish people would understand that yes it is hard but its what we feel is the best for our child instead of giving me crap about it. UGH My DH took a different job with a pay cut too. And people thought that was nuts too. I thought friends and family were to support you. Got figure! Sorry I just needed to vent.
Please Keep up the GREAT WORK SAHM!
