Top 3 things you should never say to a stay at home mom

I have noticed that lists via blogs go around and get a lot of attention so I thought Id try one. Im new to blogging, also new to reading them...figured Id get some pointers. Recently, the ones I have seen shared on facebook from friends are all lists. 37 reasons....blah blah. 15 things you should avoid. Anyway, I am annoyed with my husband today. I'm sure other people will be able to relate to this. Often when he comes home from work, he gives the token hellos...engages for a brief spell and then plops down on the couch and turns on the TV. Gosh it seems so stereotypical. We both have hard full time jobs. When I say full time...I mean full freakin time...from the time we wake up until we go to bed and then random shifts in the middle of the night. I realize his job changes scenery at about 5pm but its by no means over. Time to change gears...It's daddy time! As I'm sweating like a MILF in aerobics, making a lasagna that's going to taste like heaven. In between taking out the trash and filling sippy cups. You could get off your tired old ass and do something too! Humph...I feel better! This got me thinking to a few times my hubby has really put his foot in his mouth. Hence..a list.
3 things you should never say to a stay at home mom:
My favorite by far was this
1. "Do we need to talk about our roles?"
Perhaps many of you have seen the picture of the house completely torn to hell and the quote says:
"You know all the things I do all day? Well, today, I didn't do them". I did exactly that...didn't lift a finger...I had, had it.  I wanted him to see what it was really like here all day. It is safe to say my mood was far from good that day and his "roles" question was icing on the cake. We have never discussed our "roles" again.
2. "Where's dinner?"
Well if you don't see it and you don't smell it...It's probably cuz, there isn't any. It may be in your best interest to assume I have had the kind of day that didn't facilitate me cooking...DINNER! You may wanna take your happy behind to "find dinner"! Thank you!
3. "Is this what you do all day?"
What? This? THIS... could mean anything? Cook? Clean? Serve? Help? Feed? Sooth? Calm? Referee? Call? Wash? Wipe? Pay? Sit? Wait? Bath? Fold? Change? Comfort? Yell? Hug? Scold? Run? Drive? Fix? Love? Watch? Play? Pretend? Reassure? Carry? Solve? Build? Read? Brush? Vacuum? Make? Bake? Dress? Buy? Find? Scrub? Dust? Go? Organize? Guide? Order? Sweep? Hold? Fill? Repeat? There is no one "THIS" that I do all day!

and that's my first attempt at A LIST!
