If I knew now what I knew then

What kind of employer would have you work your ass off all day completing a project only to destroy it once you are finished and have you start all over again the next day? Seems like a waste of good help to me.
The house is a mess.
The kids have snot noses again.
If I hired someone to do this job while I got another, I would never expect them to put up with these working conditions.
I can't believe how little respect we give mothers in this society. Staying at home is way harder than going to work. Wait, did I already say that, like, one hundred times?
Am I whining? You bet I am! Do I care? You bet I don't!
The troubling thing is this. My husband is a smart, well-informed, feminist kind of a man and he still can't get it.
I laugh my ass off at those women on the news a few weeks back who were sitting in their lawn chairs on their front lawn with signs up saying "MOTHER ON STRIKE". Firstly, where do those women live that they can be sitting on a lawn chair in horse-assed old lady shorts in the middle of December and why does this make the news in Canada? Secondly, and more importantly, do these women really think that inside the house the kids are cleaning up their bedrooms while fat Floridian hubby is painstakingly washing the dishes and creating a lovely dish for dinner? F no! The house is probably smelling like a cat litter box and the pizza boxes strategically placed in front of the couch making a new ottoman. And thirdly, I totally understand where these gals are coming from and that is funny in a sad, sad way.
I know I should just lay the fuck down in the bed I made (as per my last post) but the bed is covered in laundry.
