(eta: i dont view this as a negative on people without kids, or moms who stay home vs. moms who work out of the home... we are ALL busy. i think it is just a great article to support mothers in general!!)

AAAAAAMEN!!! Not that I have childless friends who do that, but I remember how I once sort of was one of those childless friends. Not quite as annoying as the one who wrote the letter, but still, just not getting. Now? Now, I get it.
Great response from the author. The question has been asked by so many. The response should be "come on over, try if for a day. See what you do."
Women are so judgmental unfortunately! We all do what we can and want when it comes to staying a home or working outside of the house. Both are hard in many ways. We should embrace each other vs. tearing one another down.
I am one of the very few stay-at-home moms that, get this, stay at home! :) I am one of the very few moms (yes I'm a mom of little ones too) that ask this very question all.the.time: Why are so many of my mom friends soooo busy? haha Not judging or being negative, but I must be clueless or something because I'm not a busy person. I like my simple life, uneventful days and I love good conversation with a friend. I'm not good with the new "friendships" that rely on Facebook/email/texting. I'm an old fashioned girl from a small town and I guess nothing can replace real human contact, at least for me. :) It's a different world we live in these days, that's for sure! :)
Jen you just gave me my next post hahaha. :) You busy girl, you! :)
