What are some common misconceptions concerning homemakers?

Being a stay-at-home mom, I hear them all the time. Many of them irritate the heck out of me.

Homemakers are home all the time and must get bored.

Um, no, I’m not home all the time. I do leave the house to do things. Besides shopping, running errands and paying bills, I do take my children places and I love to go to the park. I’m not chained to the kitchen sink!

I’m hoping other homemakers/parents will chime in. We don’t get a lot of support these days.
