Oh how I hate when people think that just because you work at home you aren’t working. My own mother is one of them always telling me “why don’t you just get a REAL job” LOL it makes me want to absolutely scream my head off!

Oh boy can I relate! I read those comments left on that post you linked to, and still find it amazing how many people down-play the WORK involved with being a stay-at-home mom or dad. So they're all sitting around eating Bon-Bon's eh? Ridiculous! Have you ever checked out the Mom's Salary Wizard? Quite interesting to say the least. It provides an estimate of what a stay-at-home mom's salary would be IF they got paid to do it. What about the Job Description of a Mother? Pretty funny and oh so true.

Relax!

I’ve done exactly the same thing. Sometimes it’s just easier than explaining that you own a business that you run out of your house.

Somehow, one of the first questions people ask is not “What do you do?” But, “Where do you work?”

For me, the answer to the first question is “I’m a freelance writer.” The answer to the second question is “in my breakfast nook.”

Well, if I get asked the second questions first, you can see how it can get.

Thanks for the link.
