Why are working moms so judgy of stay at home moms? Keeps happening to me.

I stay home and have two daughters, my husband works and makes really good money, also travels out of the country a lot for work.

Hes in Dubai right now. So it works for us to have me at home, free for what needs to be done around the house and for the kids. Plus I just love always being home for them, involved with their lives and knowing whats going on with them.

In the past I worked for around six years when they were younger and we needed the income, as an office manager. And I did not feel superior in any way to stay at home moms. I envied them.

I love my life and family. They're everything to me. I also get to spend a lot of time in meditation, reading and learning, art, etc.

I feel so blessed.

But then, it seems like atleast once a year my kids will have a friend with a working mom who questions them about what their moms do, and when they say I dont work, they get weird looks or some comment like "wow she must get bored, no way I could do that" or "you mean she doesn't work at all??" .

It makes me feel so inferior and sad that my kids might feel Im less than.

Sorry for the rant just picked my daughter up from a friends house and got this same story from her and it sucks. I already have no women friends and its just hurtful.

That particular friend stayed over with us last weekend and I was super nice, took them out to the movies and dinner, paid for everything. I dont get it.

Oh also I sleep downstairs on the couch when my husband is out of town with a gun under it just to be extra safe and feel like the girls are protected and the friends mom asked my daughter "why does your mom sleep on the couch"? And she had to explain. The woman say thats odd.

Really??? Why are people so damn judgmental??

Ugh.
