SAHM v WOHM: an observation

On Friday, one of the last things I did was send an email to family and friends asking them to delete my work email address from their address books. Some of the people who received my email entitled "Job News" didn't know that I had quit my job.

I just got done reading the responses that I received from my friends, and the reception I received was split exactly down the middle.

Every single working mom friend said something along the lines of "Congratulations, I wish it was me!"

Every single stay-at-home mom said something along the lines of "Good luck, you'll need it. Call me when you start losing your sanity!"

I'm not quite sure what it means, but I think I'm about to find out.

Good luck, although maybe this will turn into a great career oppritunity. Instead of driving yourself crazy or finding an un-productive hobby for that precious free time you'll eventually get, maybe you should think of starting a small business from home, or writing a book and publishing / selling it yourself.

It's getting easier and easier to do things yourself using the internet, staying at home could be just the oppritunity you need to realize potential you've never seen before.
