I got to talk with a dear, dear friend tonight. We hadn't talked in a LOOOOOONG time. She is engaged, and she mentioned that her fiance' doesn't have a very good opinion of stay-at-home-moms because his ex-wife used to be one, and well, let's just say that if she could have been fired, she would have been. Her kids were in school, she had a housekeeper, they ate out every night, etc. I'm not sure what she actually DID during the day to keep herself occupied! So needless to say, this guy now seems to think that all SAHMs perform their duties as his ex-wife did.

My friend knew that wasn't true, and she proceeded to tell him how she spent her days when she was a SAHM. ;-) I agreed (of course LOL) and told her that that would be like me saying that since some accountants are crooks, that the accountind profession is a bad one.

Our conversation got me to thinking though. Ladies, a world is watching us. Even if we don't realize it. Even if it's "just" our husband and our children. How do we perform our job? Are we giving SAHMs a good name? Or are we trashing this noble profession with our laziness? I fully realize that sometimes circumstances get in the way, but IN GENERAL, what will people think about SAHMs when they look at us?
