Okay, here's the deal. I might delete this post tomorrow. But for now let me rant a little.
I am sick and tired of people who think, insinuate or imply one way or another that I am worth nothing just because I have no real job. What is a real job anyway? In a world we live in right now, a job doesn't have to be in an office from 9-6 or 8-5.
But there are still people out there who think that way. While I am really a tolerant person, some days I get so pissed off with this ignorance.
And it gets to me. It does!
I know I don't work in the outside world and it may seem to people that I earn nothing. That's not true. Yes, being a mother pays nothing but that's not all I do. While I do not bring in as much income as my husband does, I bring in just enough. I take credit for these income because I do the work and I invest time for these.
We have three condo units in Manila. Two of which are income generating. We have 3 investments which are earning as well.
It's true that the above investments came from hubby's salary but it wouldn't have been invested wisely and managed properly if it weren't for me. For our condo rentals I post ads diligently on the internet daily looking for clients. I do everything. For our other investments, hubby wouldn't have invested if it weren't for me. So all of the above income is because of me.
I know I am bragging. Some financially insecure people might get affected by this. But I think it's time I assert myself.
Some working people think that just because they have a job, they have the license to look down on SAHMs. Just because they have a job, they think they are smarter than SAHMs. Just because they have a job, they think SAHMs are just leeching on to their husbands. Just because they have a job, they think they are better than the SAHMs.
Please. Being a SAHM is hard work. Only the best survives.
Now back to regular programming and let me read some colon cleanse reviews. LOL!

J, si anonymous ba ulit? Perhaps this idiot didn't know that you were once a career woman (and a promising career in the tourism industry to boot) only that you had to give it up to start a family -- and that's a very difficult thing to do. Granting wala kang investments and all - so what if you prefer to SAH? It's your choice. Baka kasi sila they have no luxury of choice kasi walang trabaho ang asawa. Wag na kamo siyang mag-aksaya ng panahon sa kakasira sa iyo kasi nauubos ang working time niya sa kababasa ng blog mo. hihihi.
Z, I wab you! Hehehe. Hay naku. Minsan binabalewala ko nalang. Hindi naman nya/nila ako kilala. Pero minsan nakakairita eh. Kala nila ang galing galing nila. Hmmp!! Hhahaha!!!
I feel for you, J. Unawain at pag-ukulan mo ng konting awa ibang taong naghahanap ng kalinga at atensyon sa pamamagitan ng pang-aasar sa mga taong nananahimik. *whew! muntik akong maubusan ng hininga!*
Hahaha!!! Ang galeng galeng *clap clap*
