Pakhomava/ShutterstockBeing a stay-at-home mom is often a thankless job that is invaluable to many families. Although it may seem like the ultimate gig — no boss, you get to make your own schedule, and ample TV time — people often don't understand how difficult it really is unless they have tried doing it themselves. This explains why there is a range of opinions from husbands working traditional jobs about stay-at-home moms. These men might never tell their wives what they really think about how the mothers of their children spend their days, but they've opened up to our friends at Whisper about the way they secretly feel.
