We all know the feeling of sitting in a waiting room and filling out endless amounts of paperwork.
Everything is going smoothly until you get to the dreaded question of occupation. For me, it has been 3.5 years since I have had a solid, clear cut answer to this question. But for some, only putting down your profession doesn’t seem like enough–shouldn’t they know that you can do so much more now?
I find cute ways to answer now that I’m a mom and I stay home with my kids. But it never fails to seem like a punch in the gut–despite me loving being home with my kids.
Whether you are a stay at home mom or a working mom, we all have skills that we can now add to our resume that only motherhood could attribute to us.
These are a few accurate, humorous, and incredibly true bullet points that I can now successfully add to my ‘mom resume’ in no certain order:
