[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Is it too early for FFF? : Thankfully I have made it to this point in my life without hearing that song. Or the Christmas shoes one. These are things I should be thankful for when I am walking to work in the snow. At least I don't have to listen to this shiit on the radio.

These are the things where I think to myself "ok, so I don't have cheddar cheese or Pandora, but I also don't have to deal with this crap...expat life is alright after all."

I love that SAHM's CHOOSE that as their profession and then complain like they're locked in a cellar all day.  Get over yourselves.

Ugh you are lucky. We can't get away from the Biebs here. It's awful. It's like they have a home-town boy quota to fill and all they can find are him and Drake.

Can it really be called a "profession"? Just asking.

Salt, that is horrendous but I can't stop laughing at the photo shopped sporting equipment.

Well, they ARE required to play a certain amount of Canadian music on the radio each hour. I'm pretty sure if I have to listen to Lights anymore I'm going to go on a shooting rampage.

Well really...most people take time off to spend with their family. 

I understand being a SAHM is a full time job, but it's one I'm planning on having when the time comes, and *maybe* my naive mind just understand why it's such a "hardship".

My cousin is a SAHM and updates facebook like 65496789541684  times a day. I REALLY don't care that little Sammy made it through the day without pooping himself!

She also feels the need to comment on every single status or picture I post.

They're making a 3D movie about Bieber.  Because that's what our society needs.  A 17 foot tall Bieber flying at our faces in the movie theater.  Then we wonder why we're trending towards stupid.

I judge SAHM's that are constantly on the computer.  You can't be working any harder then I am at my desk at work right now.  Sure I stop everyone once in a while to answer a phone call - just like you're stop to change your kids diaper or tv channel.  How often do any of you see me on the weekend.....at night or during the days I take off to take J to school?  Maybe a random fly by.  Priorties mommies - priorities.

I kind of have Bieber Fever. Not gonna lie. and he was just SO CUTE on the Baba Wawa special!

And yeah, the SAHM mom drives me nuts. I get that it's hard, and I totally respect what they do, but there are people who work and still have to get all the stuff done that YOU get done, ya know? My mom was a SAHM and I know how hard she worked, but homegirl never once complained about it.

...seriously? I'm not a mom - I don't pretend to be. But working moms have it WAY harder! Who does all the stuff a SAHM gets to do while her kid naps for a working mom!?

I kinda flame SAHMs who are SAHMs once their kids are in school. I get it when they're younger and not school age but if you're just going to sit at home all day and not be taking care of a kid, you should be volunteering or *gasp* working, even if it's only PT. That's probably an UO though. And I probably only think this because I could never be a SAHM lol - I'd go CRAZY.

Oh yea we get a lot of Drake airtime here.

Lights..not so much actually.

Our Canadian quota is definitely Nickelback, Drake, and Bryan Adams.

Because 6 month olds are so hard to entertain :::eye roll:::

Exactly. That, combined with half my friends being OBSESSED with her and playing it all the time makes me bonkers. I'd probably like her music if I only heard it once in a while.

I agree with this. I think sometimes it might even be better for the kids if they mom has something else to do besides just interfere with their kid's life.

My mom saw Justin Bieber in concert last night. She took her boyfriend's daughter. She texted me from there to tell me that she thinks he has a vagina.

Me too. I mean, once I have kids, my ideal situation (in my head at least--we'll see how well it works out) is to work part-time until they start school.  But I don't think I could not work at all. I was a part-time nanny in college, and I loved it and the little girl I took care of, but when I got home, I was all "talk to me! I need adult conversation!" to my roommates.
