My sister and I, both stay-at-home-moms (SAHM), have just finished watching the second season of Orange is the New Black (OITNB) on Netflix after putting the kiddos to bed. After many laughs we started discussing all the ways that being a SAHM is like being on an episode of OITNB. There are many more, but here are our favorites..

1. It's customary to see food being thrown at meal time.

2. You never shower alone, and often there isn't any hot water left.

3. You grow oddly comfortable with doing #1 or #2 while making eye contact with another human.

4. Potty training exploits can often end with toddlers urinating on the floor like Crazy Eyes.

5. Certain guards (dads) are constantly smuggling in contraband (candy) for the prisoners (kids).

6. We rarely get furlough unless it involves a trip to the grocery store or Costco.

7. During transport all kids are on lock down.

11. Toddlers are always looking for an escape route from their child proofed areas.

12. The picky eaters will often make you think they've joined the hunger strike with Soso and Sister Jane.

13. The territorial battle between V and Red have nothing on two toddlers locked on being in control of the iPad.
