Going Domestic

I need a chef and a maid.

By Karen B. Schwartz

I need all those things, too...the nanny, the chef, the maid.

Also a better title. One that I can pull out at parties when people ask "So, what do you do?" that doesn't sound so freaking homely. A job description that demands the respect deserved the "office of motherhood". Because I have really, really bad feelings about that sahm title. I hardly ever stay at home.

I loved this article! I appreciate the fact that you are willing to talk about the crap housewives have to put up with and that it's a mundane job with no pay (except to the character of our children).

Being a SAHM sucks sometimes and it's high time someone say it loud and say it proud!

I think you said what we all feel, but never had the time/energy to put into words. My husband would tell me, "But I fix the car," to which my response has always been, "EVERY DAY????"

No one likes doing chores. Till your little boys grow up and leave home, and you find yourself teary over *not* having any boxers or undershirts in the laundry...
