Lost in thoughts

Being a stay-at-home mom was a very consious decision, that I took. I have not regretted taking such a decision 95% of the time. Of the rest of the 5%, almost 4.5% consists of the time I spend answering annoying personal questions. I don't mind people I love asking me, I know they do so out of genuine concern for me. But, people who only know me name, taking the authority to just randomly comment on my life, irks the hell out of me. So here are the top questions that annoy me. What do you do all day, you must have so much free time to yourself. Yep, after I'm done feeding my son, cleaning up the house after him, dropping and picking him up from school, doing laundry, doing the dishes, and if chechi is not coming, preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner, prepping for the next day and attend to the needs of 4 different people in the house; I usually sit in my velvet robe, with a face mask on and sip iced tea all day. Aren't you worried about forgetting everything you studied?? NOPES! Totally cool with being completely out of touch with something I worked hard and spent countless sleepless nights for almost 7 years of my life. No biggies. XYZ has two children and she has career. So what's your excuse?? Good for her, I salute her! if I could I would truly have had her nominated for an award for what she is doing every single day without fail. But that doesn't have to be the reason why I should be guilt-tripped for not having a career. She did what was best for her, I did what is best for me. Period. (and also, I'm sure the person who asked me this would be the same person who asks me "how can you leave your son like this and go to work?") Aren't your parents disappointed in you?? My mother knows me better that I know myself. Yes, she is a bit sad that I am not currently working, but she would rather see me content with what I have, than see me as a harried, anxious, temperamental being, which I would be if I tried to string along a home and a career together. Aren't you setting a bad example for your children?? Nope. His dad is showing him how to go after your dreams. I'm showing him that it's ok if you can't do everything together and Ace everything all at once. If you are patient and trust Allah, everything will eventually work out for your good.
