I know what you mean, sometimes when I meet other women and they ask me what I do and I say i'm a SAHM they sort of go "Hmmm" and change the subject. I love it though and I fill my days so I don't get bored. I think if you find something you love doing and do it regulalrly then how lucky are you?! I get to go to the gym every day and what's really easy for me is hard for lots of working women to do.

I think a lot of the time, esp if it's coming from other women, is jealousy that you have more time and flexibility then they do.

Cheer up sweetie, if ever those people had to spend 40 hours+ a week with kids they'll soon realise how hard it is!
