You know, you work real hard on
something basically pointless like your kid's braids or a cake or the
Valentines or some other mother's child's costume for the play and
every once in a while some jerk comes around and takes a look and
then compliments you by saying, "Must be nice to have time for
stuff like that!"
Flrblkjtlimbbb.
Garowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwk
Xchamu! XCHAMOOOOG I SAY!
But actually, it is nice to have time
for stuff like that. Thank you God and, to the extent that he will
allow me to credit him, husband.
It's not my fault people like that are
jerks, and if they dropped off their kid at my house in the morning
I'd braid that scraggly kid too (solely as a favor to the kid,
however).

I've been on both sides of this. Wishing I had time to do all the awesome things for my kids while being jealous of those that could and then having the time and hearing people put down my overabundance of "spare" time.
I only really mind when it's said to me by someone whose clothes were obviously not purchased at Goodwill. :P
Sometimes I am jealous of families with working moms that get to go on Disney vacations and buy lots of new clothes and have more than one car. But ultimately I wouldn't change my choices, and I imagine they wouldn't change theirs.
Would it be really evil to answer, " It is really nice. In fact, it's really much nicer than anything money can buy." I guess that would seem judgemental. Hmm.
