Firstly i want to say im not trying to be provocative but i really want to know.
I have a SIL who has 3 kids, 2 of which attend school during the day. She claims she is always too busy to visit her sick mother but when asked what she does with her day, it amount to nothing more than I do with my evening after work - ie housework, cooking etc
Im not having a pop at stay at home mums just her!!!

then make a proper title
What does my friend do all day?
Not really, kids is a full time job, innit.
I work 3 days and manage to get all the washing, cleaning and shopping done pretty easily in the other 4 days plus have plenty of time to spare
Perhaps she then spends her evenings having a the same relaxing family time that her husband and kids do after work/school!
God I miss those days!
My daughter is poorly at the moment so I've had to call in sick for two days and I'm secretly loving every second of it! (Sshhhh:)) Life as a stay at home mum is so simple chilled out and easy compared to life as a working mum.
It also enabled me to always be there for homework help, lifts etc.
I was also available to look after my mum & grandad when they were very ill.
Do you have any children to look after - if not, it makes a hugh difference!
Eat breakfast
School run
watch jeremy kyle/trisha/jerry
Get dressed
Housework
Visit town/friends (doesnt happen everday)
Come home
School run
Cook dinner
Homework/quality time
Baths & bed
Quality time with OH
I'm a stay at home mom, but I do have a crappy little part-time internet assessor job that I work from home just to help pay the bills. I love being home with my daughter, but just yesterday when we were walking home from the shops, I saw people who had just finished work getting off the bus to go home, and I felt a twinge of jealousy. I miss that feeling of satisfaction after a hard day's work.
Thats what I miss now I'm working. I just seem to spend my weekends catching up on stuff I used to be able to do during the week. Weekends used to be fun!
Why did entitle it 'stay at home mums' then, why not 'Join me in having a pop at my sister in law'
Basically they don't do nothing. They don't work.
Most of the time they can be found on Facebook, harping on about what happened on Jeremy Kyle (seriously) and tales of the power naps they are taking and whether or not if they can be arsed to go out and go shopping.
I dunno whats more sad, them or me talking to them on Facebook.
I never really felt that tbh, but now I work I have to admit I do have a sense of pride in my self I never even knew I was lacking. It's a nice feeling but I'm glad I had that time at home with my kids, they were happy times.
I must make friends with some stay ay home Mums!
Blame the feminists
I could do with money you think they'd pay for a young thing like me to do put a little spark in their day?
Apparantly I'm very good with my tongue....
This. I do everything that needs doing during the day so I can spend the early evening helping kids with homework, playing with them, getting them bathed and to bed and the rest of the evening is spent with my OH.
It is a proper title, jeez!
Probably because the OP wanted to know what other stay at home mums do, jeez!
Anyway the answer is stay at home mums/dads have a relatively easy life.
....and BUY TRAINERS
