No one considers being a mom a job except other Moms. Sad, there would be no president with his Mom. Hello people can a job be more stressful. The job we do effects everyone our child come in contact with for the rest of their lives. Could there be anymore pressure to do a good job?

Amen Cheryl Ann!!! And Dr. Phil says all the time that being a stay at home mom is equivalent to holding down two full time jobs!!!

I agree 100%. Mom, wife, homemaker... why does no one consider them jobs? I remember an article where they calculated all the things a mom/wife/homemaker does and how much that would cost if you hired outside help to do it all... child care, house keeper, laundry/ironing, cook, caretaker, shopper, general doer and keeper of the house and keep everyone in line... it was enormous. Probably more so in my case since I do the majority of the yard work and home repairs and car care. I don't have kids yet. But we do have plenty of furbabies. :) Keeping up after everyone is a full time job!
