I do feel for her husband, because she's basically saying that since he doesn't make enough, she HAS to work. Saying things like this is kind of like kicking your husband in the nards.
I have no idea why someone would put that on FB. And I think it's a really shitty way to treat her husband.
All of that being said, I have always maintained it's way easier to do less than more. I don't barely work because it's more difficult. But those are the thoughts that need to stay inside your little head.

I think it's terrible for her to post that. Can you imagine if it was reversed, and s husband ranted like that on FB? People would go nuts. Are people responding? Or "liking" her post?
Exactly Amy. Her posts are like that of someone without a filter. I think all kinds of things, rational and irrational....,but I usually know when to share and when not.......or I call one of my two best friends and just say it to them or my DH and they talk some sense into me;)
Exactly!
I do think it is really, really tough to work full time and have kids as a mom. The overwhelming majority of people aren't/can't outsource stuff like cleaning. You run yourself ragged with pick up/drops offs and work. You are NEVER giving work everything you should to get ahead, and you start to wonder why bother. You have 97 things to do when you get home, and you are trying to make it all quality time and also meeting the needs of the kids, because you feel like you never see them.
Even on my boys' worst days, when I want to crack a beer and noon and lock them in that yard, from strictly a quality of lifestyle perspective it's just easier not working full time.
So i get her point and frustration -- I do. I really do feel working moms generally do "more". But making that your FB status is just dumb and inviting trouble.
She is likely the breadwinner to be fair as she has a degree that generally pays well, plus she has since specialized. That may be weighing on her more. I just think there were better ways of stating her upset without dissing her DH or SAHMs.......or, yeah maybe sharing it with those close to her and not on FB. She also recently posted a long diatribe about how xyz employer was missing out on not hiring her DH and listed all of her grievances about it and wanted everyone else to be worked up about it as we were all missing out. Uh, my DH would shit a brick literally if I posted that about him. Career suicide, no?!
I would have had it made if I also had a live-in nanny, maid, chef, and chauffeur. I mean it is a lot easier when the kids are in school all day, but then there are still the small humans you have to keep fed, clean and alive.
She should count herself lucky that she has someone to share in the child raising duties.
