The decision to stay home with the kids isn't made lightly. About five million moms trade in their briefcases for diaper bags, and they couldn't be happier. That is, until someone makes a snide remark about their lifestyle. Whether intentionally or not, certain comments and questions make a stay-at-home mom's blood boil. Utter these words, and you'll suffer their wrath.

"You're so lucky!"
"What do you do with all your free time?"
"You must get so much sleep."
"I wish I could lounge around in sweatpants all day."
"Your husband must do very well if you don't need the extra income."
"You'd think your house would be cleaner."
"Will you ever go back to a real job?"
Since you don't work, would you mind . . .
"But you still serve them boxed mac and cheese?"
"You must get bored being with kids all day."
"I'd feel so unfulfilled."
"I mean, it's not like you work."
"Oh, so you're just a mom."
