The only reason I would agree with saying that being a full time mom isnt a job is this
At a job you have set hours that you work
At a job you get breaks and a lunch hour
At a job you get days off every week
At a job you get vacation days, sick days, holidays off.
Being a mother is a labor of love. I have 2 kids and I have always worked, more often 2 jobs than 1. And no I dont want applause or a pat on the back for it. I chose to bring my kids in this world and I choose to work my ass off to give them what they need in this world.
That said even if I could be a stay at home mom I dont think I could do it. Not even talking about the constant demands on your attention, the fact you cant get 5 minutes of peace to use the bathroom. Also think of the lack of adult human interaction. It does wear on you.
And as much flack as I have taken for being a working mom I think that stay at home moms take alot more. They are stigmatized by working mothers and society as lazy and/or spoiled.
