My Stay at Home Mom point of view? can anyone relate?

Ok this is where I pretty much need to vent out my views on the stay at home mom....

A mom who stays at home and cleans her house, RAISES her own children, plays, laughs, cooks, and makes sure everything is ok throughout her children's lives and home structure is great, possibly the best thing she can do for her hubby and child alike.

but..i've just lost all respect from the few months i've lived with my aunt, who is also a stay at home mom..

she is depressed (blames it on mom's death and also blamed it on not being able to handle the kids) she has 3 children (2 girls 1 boy) and the house is forever not clean...every day theres a little ceaser's pizza here...she yells constatnly...crys when she has to spend the whole day with him and complains no one will help her

i spend as much time as i can with my dear cousins..and i love them and tried to help her..but everytime i have i get yelled at later for going out with my bf (im 18) this summer..and told i never do anything.withMy Stay at Home Mom point of view? can anyone relate?
No My Dear all stay at mom's are not like this .I was a stay at home mom till my last child entered kindergarten and while I was home I cooked and cleaned and mowed the grass and ran all the errand and shopped and such.I also made sure in the summer time my kids was enrolled at the summer reading program at the library.To me your aunt sounds depressed and needs to some medication for this.You sound like a neice who is willing to help out all she can.Keep the Great work!My Stay at Home Mom point of view? can anyone relate?
Not all stay at home moms. Most honestly do work very hard to make a good home and raise their children.

But I do understand your dilemma. My mother started out as a stay at home mom. She cleaned, she cooked, she walked us to and from school every day. Now-a-days she is just a stay at home. She is depressed as well as schizophrenic, and for many years has refused to take her medications. She has ceased to contribute to our family and has become a burden that has done more to tear us apart than anything else.

I can tell you from experience that you cousins need you. Depending on how old they are, they may need a mother figure or they may just need someone to lighten the load. It's good that you help out around the house. Ignore her. You are doing an excellent thing. Focus on helping her children. They need you.

Also, I hope that their father plays a strong role in their lives. It it wasn't for my father, I don't know how I would have turned out. Probably really messed up.
