You wouldn't understand, you are not a mother May 14, 2008 | Registered: 16 years ago Posts: 1,038 |
If I hear this from my MIL one more time, I am going to snap.
On Mother's Day she sat down and started in on how I would never understand the importance of Mother's day or how much a woman worries, because I am not a mother.
Well later on that day, we were talking about careers and travels.
She chimed in, I looked at her and said, you wouldn't understand you don't have a career. The look on her face was priceless.
Yes, I am a bitch and I am okay with that.

If someone tells me "you aren't a mother" I am like "wow, you are brilliant to come to that conclusion". Overall, I don't have a problem with someone tell me this.
HOWEVER, if they are saying it to me like they think they can insult me, that's a different story. I'd say "yes, I know I'm not a mother, can I ask why you are telling me that?"

OMG, Annie! I'll BET the look on her face was priceless!
Let me share a story along a similar theme. A couple of weeks ago, I heard one of my male co-workers (who is really cool, btw) getting louder and louder on his phone. It didn't take long to figure out that he was on the phone with his sister. This was unusual because this guy rarely makes personal calls, and when he does, they are quick, usually like asking his GF if she wants something at the store. From the gist of things, he was having an argument with his childed sister who didn't want to hang out with him and his GF because she could not relate to him because he was not a parent!! His response was something like: "That is so ridiculous that you think that way. My GF and I do not want kids. Why should this make any difference?"
IMO, she's resentful of her brother, and she is taking his life choice personally.
That how I found out he was CF, but I always suspected he was.

She isn't assuming you HAVE/HAD a mother?

Guess my MIL got pissed about my career comment, she sent me this on email, to prove she does have a career and it is an important one.
Just confirms to me that she is not happy with her career choice and needs to prove something
JUST A MOM?
A woman, renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk 's office,
was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.
She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
"What I mean is, " explained the recorder,
"do you have a job or are you just a ...?"
"Of course I have a job," snapped the woman.
"I'm a Mom."
"We don't list 'Mom' as an occupation,
'housewife' covers it,"
Said the recorder emphatically.
I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself
in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall.
The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised,
efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like,
"Official Interrogator" or "Town Registrar."
"What is your occupation?" she probed.
What made me say it? I do not know.
The words simply popped out.
"I'm a Research Associate in the field of
Child Development and Human Relations."
The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in mid air and
looked up as though she had not heard right.
I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.
Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written, in old, black ink on the official questionnaire.
"Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest,
"just what you do in your field?"
Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice,
I heard myself reply,
"I have a continuing program of research,
(what mother doesn't)
In the labratory and in the field,
(normally I would have said indoors and out).
I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family)
and already have four credits (all daughters).
Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,
(any mother care to disagree?)
and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).
But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers
and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money."
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she
completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career,
I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model,
(a 6 month old baby) in the child development program,
testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt I had scored a hit on bureaucracy!
And I had gone on the official records as someone more
distinguished and indispensable to mankind than "just another Mom."
Motherhood!
What a glorious career!
Especially when there's a title on the door.
Does this make grandmothers
"Senior Research associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations"
And great grandmothers
"Executive Senior Research Associates?"
I think so!!!
I also think it makes Aunts "
Associate Research Assistants."
Please send this to another Mom,
Grandmother,
Aunt,
And other friends you know.
May your troubles be less,
Your blessing be more,
And nothing but happiness come through your door!
AMEN!!

Kiss my not-so-sweet ass.
Did that actually happen to your MIL or was it an urban-legend story she found on the internet?

"I have learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is easy and fun as hell"

Annie35, you moo-in-law is really pitiful. Perhaps, the city clerk pitied her...or was another one of those wigged-out religious idiots? If there so much 'satisfaction' with her choice not to have a career and how moohood satisfies her beyond $$$, she would not need to tout it to the entire world. I would have been embarrassed for the poor dear had I been in line behind her. She protests too much...

If her 'career' in 'moohood' satisfied her so much, she would have listed the real duties she performs as a 'Research Associate': making peanut-butter sandwiches, changing diapers, doing laundry, watching cartoons, picking up toys and heating fishsticks -- but the truth wouldn't have given her the little kick she needed to make her feel good about her wasted life.

Oh that's rich!
Wouldn't your MIL have shit on herself had the clerk asked her: "Wow, sounds very interesting. What university did you graduate from and which research center do you work at?"
That's just a way for mothers to make themselves feel part of the rest of the world, to feel more adequate within themselves. I toast no wine to it.

I guess it is possible that I make her feel bad about herself and her life choices. When she was at my house over the weekend, she was asking about some stuff I had displayed on my shelf. Each thing is from a different country that I have traveled to on business. I told her about each of them and the story behind how I came to own a few pieces and she snarked that a crayon colored pictured from your child is way more priceless than anything you buy in China or Africa.
I replied that they are not priceless, but they do hold fond memories of my travels and personal growth while traveling and experiencing different cultures and people.
She just rolled her eyes and said it would be hard for me to understand because I am not a mother. I of course threw in the hard for her to understand because she never had a career.

This is obviously something she found and sent to you.
I hope you don't live close to this bitch. At least a full day's drive would be the minimum distance.
(By her flawed logic, you should be able to understand what mothers go through if motherhood is actually a career, since you have a career, right?)

Oh yeah...because we all know that changing a shitty diaper or heating up chicken nuggets is WAY more challenging than negotiating a business deal, researching a cure for a disease, writing a novel, or writing a thesis on an obscure medieval manuscript. Obviously these moos are threatened by career women, or else they wouldn't be so negative and confrontational.
@annie35-Wow, you're MIL has some major jealousy issues. I'm sure people think I'm crazy for some of the trips I've taken, but the non-monetary benefits, like memories, appreciation of another culture, personal growth, meeting people, etc. are completely worth it.

I am pretty sure her email is one of those emails that floats around from mom to mom and to point out to others that they work hard. I am mostly sure about this because my MIL would never know how to explain a career in those terms.
She is a very jealous person about everything. She is jealous of me and my relationship with her son. Her daughter is the same way. My SIL thinks that her husband is secretly in love me because he speaks spanish and I speak broken spanish so when he is around, I practice with him, so that I can improve my language skills. I don't do it to drive her crazy, I do it so that I can practice and learn from someone who's first language is spanish.
My MIL actually thinks that she deserves a social security pay out for being a stay at home mom.
Luckily they live 5 hours away and I don't see them that often.
They have talked about moving closer and everytime they do, we talk about moving further away.

Yes, I agree, from what I've seen, moos do feel threatened by educated career women. I will read about moos who claim they had these fantastic, high paying careers "but gave it all up to stay home".
But in reality, the SAHMs I know never had ANY kind of real job that was worth a shit. They got their college degrees, then got married in their early 20s, started having kids and staying home. They look down their nose at single women, childless women and working moms. They mock the work that these women do. I can't wait to see what happens to these moos when their husband walks out. They better not come knocking on my door for help, because I won't be helping them.
