Working Mothers

I just want to give a shout out for young working mothers. The ones that have young kids but still manage to work full time out of the home but still keep there kids involved in sports, dance or whatever else there kids enjoy doing. I was lucky enough to find a job when my kids were young inside the home, that wasnt easy by any means and i certainly didnt do it by choice. But it was nice to be there for my kids. I didnt work outside the home until Cory went to Kindergarden and then it was evenings and saturdays (and monday am only) when Ralph was home with them. Once Cory went to middle school and was half way though 7th grade, then i went full time. I still felt guity that he didnt have me home like the others did but he was certainly old enough to deal with it. But so many mums are not lucky enough to find a job that they can do at home while there kids are little and i admire them so much. They juggle so much and have so much guilt and pressure when there kids are not feeling well or worrying about babysitters etc. I think they deserve to be cheered everyday. Like i said they do it all, get the kids off to where they need to be, get to work, get home from work, fix dinner, do whatever needs to be done in the home, homework, dance or whatever there in. Just amazing. What makes me really mad is people that contine to put them down or act smug cause they dont have to do it. Its usually people who have had some extra help in there lifes, for example, parents that have helped them get into a home and will help out if times get hard to enable them to stay home. Nothing wrong with that certainly, i would do the same for my kids if i was in a postion too. But what is wrong is how some of them behave. They contine to belive they are better then the working mothers and there comments of.
My husband works his butt off so i can stay home, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah im sure he does, but so do the husbands of working mothers, there out there working there butts off just as hard, maybe more as they cant get any finanical help with buying that first home or whatever. I guess i just think that the ones that can stay home and have all day to do what some mothers have to do in evenings or weekends, plus work a 40 hour week on top of that, should really back off a little. Stop putting on the guilt to these women. Instead of making them feel bad, how about being a little more humble and counting your blessings about how lucky you really are to be able to be home and do it the way most women would love too. Its not because there husbands are not working there butts off, its not because they want big homes or fancy furniture, thats just reasons someone started to try and get women to stay home and not work. Its really the country we live in anymore. Two incomes are needed. I always worked even if in the home, but we never had fancy homes or furnitures, it was to put food on the table and pay the bills. Thats the reason women work. Whoever started the other reasons needs to be kicked in the butt. lol. Besides that they still get there kids to the scoccer and other things there kids like to be involved in. I admire any parent that is willing to invest time and money in activities there kids are interested in. Many before they have nicer things themselves or nicer cars. Thats what being a parent is. Investing in your kids and working together to provide the best life you can for you all. Forget what everyone around you are saying. Your doing a great job. And ive keep cheering for you!!!
