The other day while talking with a friend about the ridiculousness of the so-called "Mommy Wars", I realized that regardless of whether a mom is working out of the home or in the home, they are both essentially spending their day doing the same things.
Below are 10 undeniable Ways Working Moms and Stay-At-Home Moms Have The Exact Same Day...
1. Mornings SUCK. Every morning, every mom, is up way too early to have enough time to make breakfast, pack lunches and get everyone dressed and started on their day... Then spend whatever time is left trying to make herself look fabulous presentable.
2. Both wipe asses all day. Whether it's a kid or a boss, someone needs their ass wiped.
3. Both clean up messes all day... that they didn't make. Whether it's a kid or a coworker, someone is making a big mess that needs cleaning up.
4. Both can't get a thing done. Whether it's a kid, coworkers, clients... someone is doing their best to keep kill productivity, and it's working.
5. Lunch is an afterthought. Whether at home or the office, lunch constitutes wolfing something down so fast the taste is barely detected.
7. At 5:00pm the work day is FAR from over. To a mom, 5:00pm means it's time to shift into night-mom mode; Make dinner, baths, bedtime, prepare for the next day.
8. Bedtime is the best time. The minute the kid(s) are asleep, all moms do the happy dance.
9. Both spend the evening doing all kinds of things they don't want to. Even though all anyone wants to do after a long day is sit down and relax, moms can't until the dishes are done, the laundry is switched over, the clothes are laid out, and the next day is prepped for.
