When people ask me, I say I work from home, and they still assume I have a 9-5 gig. You're right, it ain't fair.<BR/><BR/>Hey, while you're up, I could use a sandwich too... ;)Montana Davehttp://dave.wildmountainfarms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158413204646144182006-09-16T08:26:00.000-05:002006-09-16T08:26:00.000-05:00I never quite got used to that question when I was home. It's funny to me how much we identify ourselves by our job. I loved staying at home with Ty and I wouldn't have changed it for anything, but whenever I had to state occupation I had that same little "bump" you described.

He said that if the same question had been posed to him he would have stated that his occupation was "deadbeat."Mary Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06620639746694576459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158375618164228202006-09-15T22:00:00.000-05:002006-09-15T22:00:00.000-05:00what happens if i am at home, while my wife works? do i get to be a "housedad" or "mister mom"??gavin richardsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358134487320299038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158366628832161902006-09-15T19:30:00.000-05:002006-09-15T19:30:00.000-05:00Hey, can you get me a sandwich?<BR/><BR/>John W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158363621739037332006-09-15T18:40:00.000-05:002006-09-15T18:40:00.000-05:00How rude! When I worked in the investment business and took account applications, I was always conscientious about that question. I trained myself to say "Do you work outside the home?" Because God knows stay at home mothers work their behinds off.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12506207484517033655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158349030260549592006-09-15T14:37:00.000-05:002006-09-15T14:37:00.000-05:00I like the term Domestic Engineer.

Seeing as I haven't been doing this for very long, that question still throws me. If I'd been thinking faster, I would have said that I think. She probably still would've written down "housewife."Mary Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06620639746694576459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1158343122921055832006-09-15T12:58:00.000-05:002006-09-15T12:58:00.000-05:00"I'm a Mom!" That's my standard reply to that question. Because we work just as hard. :)Darbynoreply@blogger.com
