I feel like that because I am a SAHM that I don't have the same rights as a working person. If I get sick I don't get to take a sick day! I have to soldier on and care for children! Of course I didn't vent on her.


So, breathing deeply, I reflected on all that transpired. I felt angry. But what would getting angry with the receptionist actually achieve? She probably doesn't even have children of her own.
At the beginning it sounded like you believed the receptionist' reaction was due to you being a SAHM, and her possibly not recognising the skills that you have. And this was frustrating to you.

Later, you disregarded her comments because you assume that she doesn't have kids of her own, and therefore her point of view doesn't count?

I see that you are in a reflective mood, and this was something that just occurred to me from your post. Something to ponder?
