We may choose from any number of different jobs but for some people, there is nothing quite like the job of staying home and taking care of your family. The problem is, you tend to be very busy doing what you do on a day-to-day basis but you don’t always get the recognition for what you are doing. In fact, you may just find that your job is somewhat thankless, to say the least. Every once in awhile, however, a stay-at-home mom gets the opportunity to prove her point and that is what the woman in this joke did perfectly.
I heard recently about a stay-at-home Mom. One evening she went to a PTA meeting and her husband and her oldest daughter got together and decided they would clean up the kitchen for her. They put up all the food, wiped all the counters, washed all the pots and put them away, put the dishes in the dishwasher and ran it. They swept and mopped the floors and then sat down, and awaited her arrival.
Two hours later she returned from the meeting, took off her coat, hung it up, walked through the kitchen into the den, grabbed the remote control, and began watching television. They followed her over to her chair and stood by her side. Finally she felt them looking over her shoulder and looked up at them and said, “What?”
Her husband said, “The kitchen.”
“The kitchen. What?”
“The kitchen. We cleaned up the kitchen. Didn’t you notice? It’s sparkling clean. We cleaned it for you.”
The woman replied, “Yes, I noticed. Thankless job, isn’t it?”
