Driven career woman seen as inferior by SAHMs
My sister in laws both had kids early which prompted them getting married and are popping them out now on a yearly basis, or trying to. They don’t think that my demanding work as a founding executive at multiple start ups at a time, and having two dogs to take care of, that I could ever imagine being a mom or what they go through. It’s like they see me as less than and choosing the easier path, or that they are superior to me for being mothers?
Anything I say gets slammed as having it easy or assuming my ability to understand their duties which are posed as being more difficult than mine/having a higher purpose.
Both of them and a lot of my other female friends have told me they want to have kids and be SAHM’s purely because they don’t want to have to work. They want to retire and live off a husband so they have kids. The guys they choose can’t even afford rent on their own most of the time. I find this reasoning pretty disgusting and superiority complex a little insane.
I’ve also gotten commentary that being a mom just isn’t my destiny or purpose on this earth like it is for them, because I am being responsible trying to create a stable life with financial stability as much as possible- with my own money and success that can’t be taken away from me or my potential future child. Seems irresponsible to “figure it out” and rely on a guy now of days who aren’t even making much as it is without a dependent, much less two dependents.
Anyone else ever heard of this or deal with something similar? Am I the assh*ole here?
