Motherhood... It's not a REAL job!

[I originally wrote this while reading grown women argue on a parenting site.... The argument? "Stay at home moms have it easy"  vs " Working moms don't raise their kids"]

(If you do not find sarcasm funny, turn away now!)

Obviously some think the job of motherhood is easy, while others think it is difficult.

 I  think each child and family is different...

 Personally my family often sounds like a zoo. Maybe this makes me a zoo keeper? 

Maybe this will give you more perspective, If nothing, I hope you have a good laugh: 

    Stay-At-Home mom's do not have REAL Jobs, they have miniature munchkins that have daily demolition demonstrations. 

These munchkins have fecal accidents, destroy property, have panic attacks, hourly confrontations and leave tornadoes of mess left behind them. (Having one child is a picnic to the mom of three, but she still has her "days".)

BUT it's not a REAL Job. 

Just like working moms are not REAL mom's....

    Working mom's get up and get out the door while dragging munchkins with them.
 These acrobatic moms spend hours dragging gear along with munchkins to school/daycare. 

They spend most their time away from home, working. They parent at night and on weekends.... OR they play switch it/shake it up with daddy, while doing acrobatic hours... But they are not REAL mothers.

    Also, I think My husband in not a REAL husband because he is never home. He's working... but never home. 
Always faithful, but never home... so he doesn't qualify... Right?

I think my dog should apply to be a cat. He doesn't act like a REAL dog... so he must be a cat?

I think bottle fed babies are not REAL babies because they don't eat REAL food. I think breastfed-one-headed unicorn's are purple people eaters....

I find that my car thinks it's a chariot so therefore it is not a REAL Van... Maybe it's a cat van?

Do you see where I'm going with this? 

Have you ever endured judgmental comments about motherhood?
