she brings up a good point.

if you're a mom, you've struggled with or at least heard of the argument "who has it worse: SAHMs or moms who WOTH {work outside the home}". the fact is- we ALL work. it just depends on what and where. i don't think either one has it harder than the other, not one bit. i've done them both.

i consider myself a SAHM with WOTH tendencies. lol. i am employed at a coffee shop in seattle, wa and i'm also starting to build a business. AND i'm finishing my bachelor's degree and working towards my masters degree. i won't downplay it- i'm busy. CRAZY busy. at any moment, i'm juggling and i'm not talking about my kiddos. my husband sometimes doesn't get it....maybe just because men and women think differently. i can totally multi-task and get a lot done in a short amount of time, whereas my husband can really only focus on one thing at a time. one isn't better, it's just different.

woo. so anyhoo. i saw this link on a friend's facebook and thought: "she brings up a good point!" so i bring to you, mommyhood friends....


Questions from a SAHM for a working mom

  1. When you walked into work this morning and pleasantly greeted your co-worker Jim, was his first reaction to scream “NO! WANT JASON!" followed by an office supply being thrown at you?
  2. Has a colleague ever climbed up on your lap while you were using your computer and slammed the keyboard with both fists until the up arrow no longer worked?
  3. Do you have to lock yourself in the supply closet or bathroom on a regular basis in order to make phone calls?
  4. Did you finish a complete thought at any time during the day?
  5. When you went out to lunch with your fellow workers, did you have to pack a diaper/juice/extra outfit for them? Did you have to wipe their faces? Smile an apology and leave an extra tip for the waiter on their behalf?
  6. When a co-worker needed you for something, did she sit at her desk with her head tilted back toward the ceiling and repeatedly scream “SEAN! SEEEEANNNN! SEAAAAAAN!” until you came to find him?
  7. When you needed a specific colleague, did you search all over for him, only to finally find him giggling in the cabinet under the sink? Did you also find six pairs of your church shoes under there with him?
  8. Have you had to come to an associate’s aid because she fell off her desk after trying to climb on top of it using a rolling chair?
  9. When you reached for the report a co-worker was handing you, did he snatch them away at the last second and scream “MINE!” while shoving you backwards?
  10. Does your colleague lift up her shirt and pick things out of her belly button every time she comes over to ask a question?
  11. While you are using the restroom, do various co-workers come in the stall and ask you to settle a disagreement or open a packet of fruit snacks?
  12. During a board meeting when everyone is present, do you notice a smell and then have to check all your colleagues’ pants to locate it? In fact, at ANY point in your day do you have to deal with another person's feces?

    if you answered yes to any of these and you work in an office....i think you need a new job!
