Author’s First Official Blog Entry
Welcome to my Blog. I am so glad to be here. I hope you will all visit often and offer comments and thoughts.
AAHHH!! The Mommy Wars! The war is on…. a fight for and against feminism.
Many moms who work full time make comments like: “We needed to upgrade our lifestyle”, “We need two incomes to make it”, “ I would go crazy being home with my kids all day long”, “I need to show my children the importance of making an income”, “I need the stimulation from other adults”, “I have a career to maintain” or “I don’t want to lose my skills.”
Many Stay-at-Home-Moms say comments like: “They must not love their children”, “How can they abandon their children to strangers?”, “Why is a job or are materialistic things more important than their children?” “How can they not be more involved in their children’s lives?” “Who will help their kids with their homework?”, “Who will take them to extra curricular activities?”, or “Who will instill proper values onto their children?”
I am sure you have heard all of these comments. Maybe you’ve even made a few of them. Everyone has a comment to make about what they feel is right. Right for whom? For themselves? For those around them?
Is there a happy medium? Can we moms still work part-time around our kid’s schedules and the kids are none the wiser? Can we “stay home” full time and volunteer at our kid’s schools and for many causes that we feel strongly about? Can we do things to fulfill our own lives, like take classes, read more, do projects? Are the SAHM’s sitting home watching talk shows, game shows and soap operas and ah yes, eating bonbons all day long, until it is time to pick up the kids?
What do you think? Most likely the moms who will visit this blog will be SAHM’s. So, tell us why do you do it? Why did you make the choice to not work full time and keep your kids in daycare? And…the famous of all questions, also stated by many husbands throughout the years “What the heck to you do all day?” Let us know!
My blog will be about sharing tons of helpful ways to not work full time. It will be full of tips and hints to teach you how to do it financially and emotionally! How to drop your kids off when school starts and pick them up right after school. How to volunteer, find time for yourself and how to fulfill yourself without sacrificing time with your children.
