I get this all the time, because I'm a SAHM, and people say, "I don't know what I'd do all day. I'd get so bored!" Even if they have kids! Even if they have suddenly a block of time to be home, they view home as a place to escape from -- but then they whine about having to spend all this money for stuff that SAHM's do as a matter of course -- make lunch, shorten the pants, etc, never no mind the extras like the garden or crafting/art. I chose being a SAHM because it is a higher quality of life for me and my entire family -- and yes it is a lot of work, but damn it all appears to be invisible. (And explaining you are both a SAHM and the family's primary breadwinner, and have been so for decades? You can just watch their brains explode -- but no, I don't do anything, all day long. And I'm a bad example to other women, you know?

Look, a button. It seems to have been pushed *grin*
