“You’re a stay-at-home mom? What do you DO all day?”
It’s happened twice in a week, and they were both women. Anyone ought to have more class than this, but women — especially women — should damn well know better.
Last week, I was at the pharmacy and a friendly lady approached me.
“Matt! How are those little ones doing?”
“Great! They’re doing very well, thanks for asking.”
“Good to hear. How ’bout your wife? Is she back at work yet?”
“Well she’s working hard at home, taking care of the kids. But she’s not going back into the workforce, if that’s what you mean.”
“Oh fun! That must be nice!”
“Fun? It’s a lot of hard work. Rewarding, yes. Fun? Not always.”

My Life Again Full Of *HOPE*
His Smile Was Soo Beautiful
And This Is Why My Mummys A Hijabi :D

I Asked Her The Reason, She Said With Delight
The Hijab Is What Makes Me Free
Makes Me Feel That I Can Be Me
The Hijab Is My Protector, My Corrector, My Pride
It Embellishes The Feeling That ALLAH Is By My Side
Its A Barrier For Lustful Eyes, It Separates Me From Sin
