MY NEW PET PEEVE

[redlocks322]

I just spent my lunch hour at the grocery store. I was so ticked off by the time I left, I had sweat rolling down my face.

First of all, (and I'm not knocking stay at home mom's) but is the noon hour the ONLY hour in the day that they can schedule hauling their screaming bawling children to the grocery store???? I mean come on... those of us who work 50 hours a week use our lunch hour to get things done, not to tango in the isle trying to get around a passle of "play group" kids on a field trip!

To top it all of... after my $260 worth of groceries, there was no one left to sack them for all the "mommy groups" so I sacked them myself and had to carry them out myself, all so I can get back to work and fume over it.

I think there should be a law against people who don't work to stay out of the grocery store from 11am to 1pm during the week and let us workers have the opportunity to get our stuff done.

Anyway, done venting... like I said I have nothing against stay at home moms as long as they stay at home during the lunch time hours.

This thread was posted on the Official Friday Silliness Thread so I just found it. And I will agree with you, redlocks322.

A working mother is up at 6, kids fed and dressed and in the car to the daycare or school by 8. On the road to the office. At the office at 9. Lunch at 12 to 1. Got to work my ass of so I can leave the office in the afternoon in time to pick up the kids from daycare by 6:30 or I'll be docked $5 for each 5 minutes I'm late.

Try to have the kids fed by 7:30. homework. Bathtime. Hug time. Lights out 8:30 or 9.00.

And then there's time for me.- until 6:00 am the next morning. but wait, the kitchen needs to be cleaned, and some clothes washed and ironed. Before I can go to bed.

OK, someone, tell me the stay at home mom has that kind of day, and I'll kiss your ass.
