Attention Men:
Stay-at-home-mothers are extremely talented people. We are master multi-taskers, of course anyone who has ever picked up a parenting magazine knows that. I'm going to share with you some things you may not know about your precious wife/girlfriend, we have secret lives and abilities, it takes our whole Super Woman status to a whole new level.
First allow me to point out that a mom with 1 baby changes approximately 1,825 diapers a year CONSERVATIVELY, double that to 3,650 for 2 kids. Majority of us moms do not change their children beside a trash can, a few of us might use a changing table. This leaves room for perfecting AIM. That's right guys, while you are at work we are perfecting a 3pt diaper toss from across the living room to the trash can, and ya know what, we make it, almost.every.single.time.
When you are home we often * miss * the trash can, and disregard comments like " don't quit your day job" we have to do that to keep face. The truth is, we can beat you anytime, any day and anywhere. This is not limited to diaper tossing, nooo that's just our way of practicing, we can kick your butt at beer pong, basketball, diaper tossing, corn hole, bowling and a few of us are master marksmen. Our abilities do not end there, not by far.
Hunny? can you fix this? is not us saying " I can't do it!" it's us saying " I've already fixed it 10 times this week, I'm tired of it" that's right we are pretty tech savvy, and we have to be with kids around. While you are fixing the cable box or running the surround sound, we are patting ourselves on the back, because you have no idea that while you were at work, we successfully fished pennies and cheerios out of your precious game console, returning it to perfect working order, so good infact, you have no idea it was a paper weight at lunch time.
SAHM's have this unique ability to be patient, so patient in fact we can read the instructions AND successfully program the tv's remote control, that's right, it didn't just start mysteriously working by itself one day. If you find there is something you can't get to work, don't worry about it when you come home from work it will be working, we will say it's what you did earlier that fixed it, just needed some time to reset or something i'm sure.
We are not a "jack of all trades" we are "Queen's of all trades" there's nothing we can't do during nap time :)
