My husband and I got engaged in the beginning of December and then I got pregnant the last week of December “fantastic timing yes ik��” before we even got engaged we agreed that I could stay home I left my job before thanksgiving and I’ve been home ever sense. A friend of mine told me “wow so lucky you can sit at home and be lazy and not do anything” then convinced her boyfriend to let her stay home. Now there fighting because she doesn’t do anything she doesn’t cook or clean or do anything and she “doesn’t understand why her bf has a problem but my husband lets me do whatever I want” like girl staying home doesn’t mean you sit there and do nothing ����♀️

Haha well she tried. Honestly I don’t understand why people stay home anyway unless they have kids of course.

That really is what people think SAHMs do. It’s amazing. When I was on maternity leave (before I resigned to be a SAHM) I considered job hunting elsewhere bc either way I wanted to leave my current job. My sisters, who are childless fun city girls, told me I’d have lots of time to look during maternity leave lmao.

@Cactusbloom12,
honestly as a FTM I thought I’d have lots of time to do things. Then I had a ‘Velcro’ baby … now even brushing my hair is a luxury ��

Haha, this is honestly funny. I don't always have time to cook and keep the house spots less, I'll be honest, but I keep my boy so busy! Play, pool, library, little outings, workouts, etc.
I'm honestly wondering how she isn't doing more? Does she just throw the TV on and let her kid watch it 8 hrs a day?

@KMJP27,
she doesn’t have a kid yet she’s due at the end of August but yes every time I talk to her she’s sitting on the couch watching tv even before she got pregnant

I had a friend like this. her son was in daycare 5 days a week and she was a sahm. girl.. her house was FILTHY and she was always confused on why her boyfriend complained about it. I don't mean just some toys on the floor, I mean like moldy food on the table and empty fast food wrappers everywhere, laundry all over the floor, and the stench..

@Starz25,
that's my logic too- if you're a sahm then why isn't your kid home lol and how do you not have time to clean if you're legit home alone all day every day 😂

I honestly hate when ppl think staying home = doing nothing. When ppl ‘joke’ with me about how I’m doing nothing and my husband is doing everything, I instantly lose all respect for them
