    Dear Stay-At-Home Mom...VENT!

    How about next time it snows - we DO live in New England - you plan accordingly. And by plan accordingly, I do NOT mean mentioning you may not make it to your pick-up time because it may be snowing later. Yes it is snowing...and it has been since noon. Please do not assume that I want to keep your child late, or that I will make exceptions because it is snowing. Furthermore, when you arrive, you and your 5 year old could refrain from jumping up and down in your sneakers and shaking my whole house to get the snow off - ever heard of snow boots?!? You also should stop your daughter from talking about the crock pot dinner you were just making at home before pick-up (a late pick-up at that). How about you get in your car and drive here on time, then prepare your dinner. Every other family was here on time, and they were all at work. So incredibly annoyed. And yes...if there is a snow day tomorrow, I am closed. Read your contract!!!!!

          I have two kids who have stay-at-home moms. Both kids are here every day.

            I get it.... they want their kid to be socialized, have time to run errands without a child in tow and etc.......

              I would love to be a stay at home mom!!!! I would be so involved in my kids lifes. Not like a helicoptor mom but just a mom who loves to be with her kids.
              Each day is a fresh start
              Never look back on regrets
              Live life to the fullest
              We only get one shot at this!!

                She is a total pain in the tookus. Gets here the second my doors open, and leaves him here until the last possible second. Every time she drops off, she hugs him on the floor for EVER, even when I ask her to head out - some mornings for 30 minutes. She also will sit in my driveway for 30 minutes in the afternoon texting on her phone with her 5 year old in the car with her. Her child is sweet - he is 2. But it is so annoying when she is the last one on a day when everyone KNOWS the roads are terrible. She tried to set it up that she would be late this morning, and I told her to plan ahead...but she is very busy. It is nauseating.

                  Hit her with late fees. Parents who don't work but are late picking up their kids drive me crazy!

                    ugh...very annoying. sounds like she is in mommy world, population her and her kids. sometimes SAHMs get into that sort of thing and really are so clueless that the rest of the world revolved around a schedule and time. I realize that certain people have certain circumstances but overall, I don't have sympathy or understanding for SAHMs that put their kids in daycare for any significant amount of time. Just doesnt make sense to me at all.

                      Ummmmm How are you at Stay at home MOM, if your kids aren't there?

                      That makes you a stay at home female, not stay at home Mom.

                        that was funny....took me a few minutes to get it, but very ture you are not a stay at home mom if you are staying home to only take your kids somewhere else so you can be alone...BUT Not to knock SAHM, I do understand their desire to have their children in daycare.....JUST stinks when they have them there all day. BUT that is a whole different thread I dont walk to talk about again...

                        BTW I have two kids that are here full time and their moms are both SAHM. They are here from 8-4. They have younger babys at home that they would like to have some alone time with just as they had with the older one.

                        I don't care what my parents do, just don't be late with anything and follow my rules...

                          I have a DCM that works but seems to take off when she wants. She is private pay so I can't say her kids can't come unless she is working (subsidy I can. no work, no daycare, state rule. At least i got something to my benefit right? ) So I too get kinda upset When I get the text "I didn't go into work but I still want you to pick up Johnny after school. I need to hit the tanner and get my hair done should be there by closing"

                          Kinda bugs me because I always want to be with my child but then again this is what I get paid for doesn't really matter what Mom is doing I guess. If the kids aren't here I don't get paid so it rolls off my back usually.

                          Now when I have a fussy child ranting all over the house and find out subsidy Mom took the day off to go to a theme park for the day instead of work and brought the child for free daycare. Yeah I'm mad!

                            Yes!!! I would not call her a SAHM either! :: Gotta actually do the "mommy" part in order to get that title. ::

                              I was a SAHM. I chose to put my 2 DD's in Mother's Day Out two mornings a week. This was for both of us. Them to socialize with other kids and me some free time to run errands, kid free.
