Working mom Sarah Torresan (pictured) has divided parental opinions after saying spending the day at work is so much easier than taking care of her kids.
“Okay, I feel like I’m qualified to talk about this because I have weekdays and Mondays to stay home and I want to tell you something that working parents probably don’t want stay-at-home parents to know,” Sarah said on a TikTok. shorten.
“Going to work is so much easier than staying home with the kids, and here’s why.”
The mother said her work day consists of listening to music or a podcast by herself during her commute and then having a coffee as she walks across town to her office.
“I can go to the office, have adult conversations with other people, work using a part of my brain that I haven’t used in a long time, and then I can travel home, listening to music or podcasts by myself,” she said. .
Sarah said she would choose to go to work over babysitting “always” after a rough night and that sleep for the stay-at-home dad should be “priority.”
“And then I miss my kids and I can’t wait to see them and they can’t wait to see me either.”
On the other hand, Sarah said, if she’s home with the kids for “days at a time,” she could go days without having a “normal human conversation.”
“From the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you close them at night, you’re putting out fires for the most insanely irrational things,” Sarah explained.
“It’s constant conflict, it’s everyone else’s constant needs, they’re yelling at you about things, it’s about what you should do for someone else.”
Sarah said she “barely has a hot coffee” and rarely has time to sit down and think about anything other than what she needs to do to keep the kids happy.
“Most stay-at-home parents would dream of sitting in a car for 45 minutes and listening to a podcast or having a hot coffee with a coworker,” she said.
“Of course, there are warnings about this based on what you do at work or what your partner does at work, but my point is that during the night, who sleeps should really be prioritized?”
The divisive clip racked up more than 69,500 views and sparked a lively debate in the comments.
Many moms agreed with Sarah’s opinion, with one saying, “Work is my paid break from my stay-at-home job.”
“I’m a chef, so I pretty much get paid to do what I do at home, but without the stress of juggling a baby. Work is a good break,” replied another.
“Being a stay at home mom since 2020 is literally killing me, I don’t even know how to interact with other adults,” a third laughed.
I could not agree more. When I went back to work between my two children, my days were much easier. It’s tiring to be home all day with kids,” said another.
However, some parents loved staying home all day with their kids, with one calling it “basically a vacation.”
‘I absolutely would not rather be at work…I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for eight years and I can do whatever I want,’ one parent disagreed.
“Maybe it’s because I work in elderly care, but staying home with my kids is easier for me than working,” said another to which Sarah admitted: “The general consensus seems to be child care, home workers elderly care and anyone whose work could be fatal”. a pass’.
‘I’m a stay-at-home mom and it’s 100 times easier than working. Sure she has challenges, but basically it’s a vacation for me,” added a third.
