Has the makings for a Jerry Springer episode for sure. Didn't realize I was lazy. I should stop cleaning my house, feeding my familys, paying the bills, buying the groceries, etc. and get on that couch and eat bon bons all day like the lazy stay at home mom I am. Wouldn't that be the life.
Seriously...she must not have any stay at home Moms as friends. I do and I value what they do for our children and our communities. I don't know her and I would never presume to tell her how to live her life and what choices to make. So why is this working mom making value judgments on my life and my choices? We are all mothers together after all and what works for some families definitely doesn't work for others. I could say, in response to her short sighted argument, that she is in fact lazy because she hands over the care and commitment to someone else while she works outside the home. If she couldn't care for her children why have them in the first place.I could say that, but I have a lot of working moms as friends and I understand how hard they work and I admire their commitment as well. It's not about whether you work outside the home or not. It's how you do the job of mothering. At the end of the day what kind of children have you raised. That's what's important, don't you think???

ReplyDeleteI'm assuming the three ladies on the left side of the couch are SAHM's and I can't believe they didn't launch themselves across the stage...
