Let me begin by saying that I am not a stay at home mom. Recently, my respect for stay at home moms has upped a few notches, as I began to work a half day instead of a full day. I used to think I was a great mom - coming home at 4pm and keeping the kids happy and entertained until bedtime at 7 is not such a great feat compared to coming home at 1pm, feeding them and then keeping them happy without loosing my sanity.
The fact is that staying at home is harder than going to work. You have to be super organised, super patient, creative, able to multi-task, energized and more! So why does the modern world still think that a woman who does not join the work force is "worth" less than a woman who does? Why are women themselves ashamed at being a stay at home mom?
Men, I would be interested in hearing from you as well...
