The complicated task of trying to explain to your spouse that being a stay at home mom isn't a vacation and takes a not just physical but emotional toll on you and you need to leave the house more than once a week to keep your sanity. If only I could get my husband to understand :( . Also explaining to people being a SAHM doesn't make me too lazy to work or a mooch to my husband. As for thinking we are lazy it is a 24hr job we never clock out! And for the mooch I save money for.my family by not paying someone to do the job that I love.
