I&...Too funny, I was just having this conversation. I've never wanted a career or envisioned myself as a career woman, I always wanted to be a mom. I've struggled with this for many years and as a result have been unenthusiastic with most of my jobs. <br /><br />I used to think wanting to be a mom was just a co-out for not wanting to work hard or be super competitive in the real world, but I'm starting to realize none of this is true. Sure, I'm not designed to want to climb my way to the top and work 80 hours a week, but being a mom is a way more intensive job and you know what? It's the most important job in the world.<br /><br />The world needs more compassionate, educated, and accepting people. Period. Being a great mom helps to ensure that.Allisonhttp://blog.ebates.com/ebates/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731438978459983851.post-39333440486684602262011-02-07T23:35:57.704-05:002011-02-07T23:35:57.704-05:00I understand that.

Keep on doing what you need to do and I hope that you can be a full-time SAHM again soon!carlasue476https://www.blogger.com/profile/06854528065420886542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731438978459983851.post-16791705698892732332011-02-07T20:24:44.310-05:002011-02-07T20:24:44.310-05:00I'm with you here.

If I could go back and redo it, I would. Bottom line, you're right, what you decide to do should be your decision and, as mothers, we really shouldn't pass judgement on each other. I've seen this happen to both SAHM's and full-time career moms. Why are we so hard on each other?M.A. Hounshellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033669737382872653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731438978459983851.post-66390598039427816562011-02-07T16:37:58.412-05:002011-02-07T16:37:58.412-05:00I too want to be a SAHM and home school.

Not one person will tell me how to raise my children or tell me I need to have a job making as much as my husband. I decide those things. <br /><br />Good for you in taking a hand in Keev's future.

I choose to stay home with Kelly all day, and yes I work from home, but I choose to stay up all night doing it instead of wasting the time I have with her during waking hours. You know in your heart why you are doing it and you will go through this life with something much more valuable then a paycheck spent on a babysitter or child care. You are going to be able to watch and partcipate in your child growing up to the fullest instead of hearing about it from someone else who sees her as a dollar sign. When people ask what are you doing for work simply say "I have made the choice to raise my child instead of letting someone else do it."Ashley Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731438978459983851.post-47903029463228395392011-02-07T13:16:39.109-05:002011-02-07T13:16:39.109-05:00Its funny isn't it, how quickly our culture we...Its funny isn't it, how quickly our culture went from demonizing/ostracizing the woman who works to demonizing/ostracizing the stay at home mom? This is why I roll my eyes when feminazis complain about discrimination. They control the dialogue, fer Chrissakes.<br /><br />Anyway, I think being a SAHM is a great thing, and I WISH I could find a girl who wants to be one and who feels the same way about public schools that I do. I need to quit dating education majors eh?GeekParallaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378143225304125251noreply@blogger.com
