You can't be a mom and not work unless somebody else has total custody of the kids. The word you need is "employed" which means someone is paying you to do something else at the same time you are being a mom. I think dads should be described the same way - and they should be just as tired and fried at Senior Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434853928343347318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-78646943905974715022008-04-03T13:32:00.000-04:002008-04-03T13:32:00.000-04:00Right on!

I have never really thought about the term working mother that way.<BR/><BR/>My husband drives me crazy when he complains that he never has any downtime or time to himself. Like I do??? I'm the one that does all the cleaning, shopping, cooking, most of the childcare, etc. He needs to get a clue.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997605831348833911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-20575427443222179982008-04-03T11:49:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:49:00.000-04:00i have to agree. i've hounded my hubby endlessly t...i have to agree. i've hounded my hubby endlessly that if i have kids and stay at home, that it will be unequal, but he better do his damndest to make it more equal when he gets home. after all, i never would get to be off the clock, why should he?!?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-85672587727378485722008-04-03T10:36:00.000-04:002008-04-03T10:36:00.000-04:00Amen.Last year, hubby and I gave each other promot...Amen.<BR/><BR/>Last year, hubby and I gave each other promotions coz we didn't get one at work.
