Picture of "Maiden all Forlorn" by Hyrum
Inspired by "The House that Jack Built"
I seem to be on a mission for my husband to gain full understanding of what is is like to be a stay-at-home mom.
I don't know why. It's not that I don't appreciate being at home. I choose it. The job is just much harder than I ever expected.
I'm often coming up with new analogies that I think will give him insight into my days.
My latest idea was sprung from a conversation we had about why I am (too often) so snappy when he gets home from work.
While we both work all day in occasionally stressful environments- I want him to understand that there is one important major difference- a difference that might explain why I have "crazy eyes" at 5:00.
That difference lies in the behavior of our co-workers.
His co-workers, for the most part, follow the social norms relative to speaking, touching, respecting personal space, and hygiene that make for a pleasant work climate. Mine...don't.
Too illustrate this point, I wish could make a video of an office space in which co-workers acted like children. It would be HILARIOUS, people. Film just isn't one of my talents.
We have only been imagining it and we are getting a kick out of it!
Seriously, this is a gem. Anyone out there want to make this a reality?
Picture it. It's sure to make you smile!

have you seen the video of a man acting out a normal conversation with his 2 year old daughter, except with another grown man? it's pretty funny.

I'm having fun picturing how that would look too. The link Melissa shared is a fun one. Here's another one that I found entertaining. http://youtu.be/qnydFmqHuVo
My husband claims his co-workers act like children, but they don't. Not really. Plus, he leaves them at work, ours follow us around-all day and night.
