Thoughts?

i love where she writes "It’s because women secretly like to talk about how hard managing a household is so they don’t have to explain their lack of real accomplishments."

I have real accomplishments despite being a stay at home mom. It sounds like she's extremely bitter, or extremely greedy. I value a lot of things in my life, not just money and my career. I guess her value lies within material things and visible accomplishments.

And, no one knows how hard it is to raise children, unless you're raising children.

I had a few thoughts...

A shower for someone backpacking in Asia? Really?

Some people are content with their "normal lives".

This is all entirely based on assumptions.

What is her stance on SAHDs?

I rolled my eyes the first time I read that. It's a waste of my time to even respond to the stupidity.

My initial reaction is to be mad, but a happy, content person doesn't not disparage someone else. She can decide it's not the path for her. She can even not agree with staying at home, but I truly believe if she felt as good about her "path" as she wants us to believe she wouldn't be such an ass.

She's also trying to desperately get Internet attention.

I know my role is appreciated by those who love me, I feel accomplished in my role, although she bugs me, her opinion doesn't/shouldn't matter to any of us.

She's an idiot. Whenever I see stuff like this I just think, try it sometime.

Also, I don't think she knows the difference between an accomplishment and a mile stone. Getting married is a mile stone not an accomplishment. No one celebrates the accomplishment of getting married. It is the enormous life change.

When I read this, all I saw was a giant AW trying to get her inflammatory blog post to go viral. It's just a whiny opinion, based on nothing informative or substantial. I'm not impressed.

Umm...yeah.

DH would be the first to admit keeping a household and being with the kid(s) is hard. He tells me many times he doesn't know how I do it.

Ditto she just sounds bitter. Good for her for not being "average". I'm quite content in my life with a husband and kids.

One of my friends is on facebook defending it. I cannot roll my eyes hard enough.

A well written response...

Um, who is this chick and why should I care what she says?

ITA w/ @ASullivan1231; someone who is happy doesn't have that kind of anger toward someone else's choices. She reminds me of someone I know IRL; disparages marriage b/c of his own intimacy issues and bad relationship decisions. He'll post stuff on FB like "I'm so sick of engagement announcements; why doesn't anyone celebrate my being single and free?" I roll my eyes, kinda feel sorry for him, but that's pretty much all the shits I have to give. :-P

On the one hand, she is an idiot and has no idea what she is talking about.

On the other, she is smart enough to know how to write an inflammatory post to generate web traffic and ad revenue.

Either way she sounds really bitter and I'd love to laugh in her face.

ASullivan1231 · January 2014

I have an issue that so many hipsters of a certain generation have such a problem with normal and average. Everyone thinks they are some darn special snowflake.
