I over hear a young woman today claiming that stay at home Moms are oppressed. Is this true?

They are only oppressed if they are forced to stay at home. If a woman chooses to stay at home, then no. But do these moms really stay at home? A lot of them are constantly on the go.

I am a stay at home mom and I love it. I don't feel that I am the least bit oppressed. I felt worse when I was working. I had to work and come home and do everything. Even when I did have the time to spend with my kids, I was exhausted. I have more time with my kids, I have all the time in the world to get the house cleaned up, and I have a loving husband who not only supports me in my decision, he helps me as well. Even though he doesn't have to and isn't asked to. I don't feel a bit oppressed.......

Graduated college. Worked 13 years in finance. Became a stay at home mom when my first child was two. I'm there when my kids get off the bus, home if they're sick, volunteer at school and Church. I'm there to help with homework. I don't have to worry about who will watch the kids in the summer, or pay for expensive day care. I love my job, would not have it any other way. Don't miss the "outside" work world at all. (and understand we planned for this financially.....)

The young women in question has been influenced by radical feminism. Stay-at-home-moms are a reward to their family. They offer a much needed service that does nothing but enrich their families well being. The world today is not family centered. When you have children you need to guard them against todays society. Why throw them in a day-care with total strangers that can teach whatever they want to your child? Same goes with the public school system today.

I choose to stay at home with my child and i love it. You can still have a life. I feel its a choice to be oppressed no one can make you feel that way.

are you kidding? the plight of the working woman is that she will work a full shift and then come home and do everything a stay-at-home mom would have done anyways, on TOP of her paid work. but its the stay-at-home mom who is oppressed?

no, i don't think that at all, in fact i think that they should be honored because they put their family life in front of all this material things that working could get them. they are blessed to be able to stay at home and do as the Lord intended for them to do in the first place. if anything the working woman is opressed cuz after a long day at work, she still have to come home and work!

No, they live in America, and women have a choice to stay at home or go to work.

It's all about choice-- if the couple decides together that one will stay at home, that's fine. If it was a unilateral decision by one partner, then it's not fair.

Oppressed in fact because they are not respected, supported, or encouraged by American society.
