HARD JOBS

[username]

Yesterday I ragged on User a little about the gym, the park, etc. but the reality is that I think being a Mom, if done right, is the hardest job out there.

You did?


Anyway, being a mother when my kids were young was unbelievably hard (for me). I did not adjust easily from corporate life to stay-at-home. If they weren't driving me crazy to the point of exhaustion, just the tediousness of home life made me nuts. Plus, at the time, we couldn't afford some of the things we have now (a gardener, for example) so if I wasn't changing a diaper, I was out mowing the lawn or cutting through the cord on the electric hedge trimmer.

Now, it's easy except for the stress of having teens. My daughter has scheduled a fight with another girl today (4pm--Safeway if you're interested). Nice that I'll be here to kick her ass if she even tries to go over there.

I've worked for/with several assholes. The type that can cause someone to up and quit within days (if you don't have a strong spine). One guy asked me to pick him up an enema while I was out for lunch that day. Fucker.
