Wow, its sad that this thread exists, because it means some hurtful and/or misinformed comments are raging out there, but its also cathartic (sp) cuz it helps me see I'm not alone KWIM?
I've got several, but heres 2 doozies that stick out in my mind
1) a WOHM of two called me up one day and asked me to keep her kids M-F while she was at work, since "I wasn't doing anything anyway". I was at a complete loss of words! As a SAHM of 2, I can assure you I am doing something all the time! You'll be happy to know that I declined her
2) a guy at the church we went to before our current one asked me how I was enjoying "my baby vacation". I thought he was joking at first and said I needed a vacation. But he said "oh, I know how you women like to pretend its so much work, so you can get your husbands to pitch in when they get home". He was an older gent, from a different time, but STILL!!!!!! I tried to correct his misinformation, but he was deadset that he was right and wouldn't listen
