What do you do all day?
You're a stay at home mom? What do you do all day?
I've had several women (with no children) ask me this lately. When I tell them I take care of my two kids, now 13 months old. That response just doesn't seem to answer their question. I feel like I need to give them a hour by hour account of what I do each day to support the reason why I stay home rather than go to work. I'm a stay at home mom. I'm a mom to twin boys. I work full time, over time, 24/7, including holidays and weekends. I change diapers. I change their clothes. I prepare their meals. I feed them at least 5 times a day, including snacks and 1-2 night time feedings. I clean up after meals. I clean up their toys. I do their laundry. Give them baths. Help them take naps, and go to sleep at night. I entertain them. We play, read, sing, and talk together. (Even though l don't know what they are saying.) I helped them learn to roll over, sit up, crawl, and stand. I am helping them learn to walk. Soon enough they'll both be running. I prevent injuries. I give hugs and kisses. I help make boo boos feel better. I help them resolve arguments. I'm a human jungle gym. They crawl over and under me. They grab my legs for balance to stand and walk. I help them, teach them, love them, and support them. We go to playgroups, picnics, swimming, and to the park. We walk, run, and bicycle riding together. When they let me, I clean house and do laundry. The list could go on and on and on and on.... 2 comments from 2 users

Who would have time to work on top of all that!?
I actually never got this question. Maybe because I'm 6'0 and look like I'd pound the asker? Rightfully so I might add.
