I saw this posted on the internet and found it to be a true reflection of the chaos and hard work a stay-at-home mom faces:
As I scrolled down through the comments, I found this. It is also a true reflection of what a working dad brings to the table:
A woman went to the store to buy a few things. When she got to the check out she pull out her credit card and swiped it in the pay station. I came back with an error "Invalid account" so she tried another and another with the same result. Surprised but not yet concerned she pulled out her check book but the cashier, upon checking, said there was insufficient funds in the account. Now upset, she pulled out her cell phone to call the bank but her phone wouldn't connect to anything but customer service who told her the bill hadn't been paid. So she went home where she found her husband sitting on the couch playing a video game. When she finished telling him what had happened at the store he smiled and said, "You know everyday when I come home and you ask me what in the world I do all day...?"
"Yes" she answered.
"Well today I didn't do it."
I guess it's easy to assume that a clean house in good order and a bank account with money and paid bills is a thing that just happens but it takes work to maintain a family. We would do well to appreciate before we criticize.
