Stay at home mom Jennifer Mason has a three year old and a one year old at their home in Conservatory Green. Prior to having their first child, Jennifer worked in an office as a Director of Marketing. \u201cI definitely enjoyed my job and the challenges that went with it,\u201d said Mason. \u201cBut, after having our first baby, and looking into the options, we decided that it would be better for me to stay home. We also knew we were going to have more kids, so it just made sense that I didn\u2019t go back to work at the time.\u201d Jennifer says she does want to go back to the working world again, but not until both kids are in school. \u201cI definitely miss it, if not for just getting out of the house,\u201d said Jennifer. \u201cSo, once the kids are in full time school, I will probably get back into the working world.\u201d Last week, while in a small argument with her spouse, her husband made the mistake of saying, \u201cI wish I could do what you do. My job is so much harder.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Immediately after making the comment, husband Jeff was surprised to have Jennifer begin laughing uncontrollably in his face. \u201cI really couldn\u2019t believe he said it,\u201d said Jennifer. \u201cIt was absolutely hilarious. I mean, the guy quality checks TPS reports or whatever, and I\u2019m here making sure our kids are getting the right kind of attention and upbringing. When he makes a mistake at work, who cares, right? What if my three year old starts choking, or if one falls down the stairs, or if any number of things happen you stress about as a stay at home parent. I mean, really? I\u2019m taking the best possible care of our kids while you are gone nine hours a day, and he thinks his job is stressful.\u201d In hindsight, Jeff realizes he chose his words poorly. \u201cIt\u2019s something I maybe shouldn\u2019t have said,\u201d said Jeff. \u201cAfter she finished laughing, she easily ran through a litany of things she has to do on a daily and weekly basis, all of which were much more difficult than what I do at my office. Sure, I wish I could spend more time with the kids, but dear God, it sounds like it is a lot of work.\u201d Jeff says he plans to choose his words more carefully next time. \u201cIf I say anything, I may just say I had a tough week or something. I won\u2019t be comparing my job to her staying at home, that\u2019s for sure. Because there\u2019s really no comparison, I guess.\u201d Or at least one that\u2019s not laughable, Jeff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
