Becoming A Stay-at-home Mom Prints

"Stay-at-home mom" is a misnomer. I spend ten hours a day driving kids all over town!

Hassled Mother.

"Tell me a story Mommy!"

'William, I've decided to go back to work so I can get a little rest during the day.'

Take the time to do something nice for yourself. Your kids will thank you. That is, if you ever decide to have them.

"That's our house, that's Mommy going to work, and that's you, staring out the window, wondering where it all went wrong."

'I work two jobs and have three kids. At the end of the day I am exhausted. Do you have anything that is not sexy and just smells good.'

"It's a new work-out video. It shows a mother chasing after three little children all day."

"I don't know, kids. I've been a stay-at-home dad for so long it just sort of... happened."

'That reminds me, the seat broke on mine. I must make time to get it repaired.'

'She finds it really easy to juggle her kids with her career now she's joined the circus.'

Woman with kids at husbands office.

'You'll never believe the day I've had...'

'I'm glad you're able to be with us more, but I'd appreciate it if you'd say you're 'spending time' with us, not 'doing time' with us.'

Balancing work and family

'I don't have time for throwing up.'

"First break since 2008."

'Save us!'

Lockdown casserole

Believe it or not: Once upon a time Dads couldn't even boil water.

'Your house is spotless, your children are well behaved and dinner was delicious. How do you do it?'

"Can I multi-task? As a single mom I'm both the bread-winner and bread-baker!"

'Sure, I'm a working mother - is there any other kind?'

"I noticed that since I've been working at home you've been paying me hazard pay. How did you know?"

'She's determined to combine a family and a career!'

"Let me put on my 'working' head."

'How soon can I return to work? About fifteen minutes ago.'

"You take care of the kids, you do the housework and you have a full-time job for which you warn less than a man who does the same? Respect... I can only fly and knock down scoundrels..."

'Son, the world is ripe for the taking ... you better stay home with me.'

'sugar and spice my eye.'

“I’m stayin’ home — I want the world to know — I pro-bab-ly won’t go!”

I haven't been down there since last Valentine's day. I want to check on a couple who asked me to rekindle their romance. A year ago I told them that thanks to me they'd be spending more time together and less time at their offices. I said I'd make it so they'd have lots of nights at home ordering some take-out and watching a movie. They must be very happy with me. All I did was shoot an arrow of love, but apparently they think I caused some sort of pandemic to happen!

"I never had to choose between a baby and a career—I'm a surrogate mother."

"I thought we could just stay home tonight and pupate."
