Dont get me wronge I'm all for womens rights but some women take it to the extreme these days... What happened to women being women and men being men. I'm tired or being critized and looked down upon because I'm a stay at home mom and my husband works. My job is not any easier than a women who works. I run after a severly active 3 1/2 yr old and my 18 month old all day and on top of it I keep a clean house, make dinner every night for my husband, do all the laundry, take all the kids to there doctors appointments, do my husbnads dry cleaning at home ( we could afford to take it to the dry cleaners but why do that when I know how to pick up an iron and do it my self). Women now days are so obsessed about being a feminist that women like me get looked down upon as being "lazy" for not working. (I have NO problem with women that work , just the women that criticize me for not) Believe me I have a hard job but I love every minute of it. What do you think???

Well, you probably know by now I totally agree with you. I'm tired of all the feminist nonsense too. Women need to get a grip and realize that homemaking and motherhood are the best jobs a woman could have. The truth is you are so much better than the majority of women. Don't let them get you down. Most women don't know what they are talking about let alone make up their mind on something because they are so wishy-washy.

I think you are blessed. Your children are going to remember that you were always there for them. It doesn't sound like your laying around all day watching soaps. I've read that a full time housekeeper, nanny, etc would cost near 50,000 a year so your worth your weight in gold and then some. You didn't mention grocery shopping and such, I bet you do that to. Turn a deaf ear to those that criticize. A lot of them are in envy because you have the best of everything. Blessings to you.

Right on. Most women nowadays are so caught up trying to get equal rights that they criticize any woman who does the "stay at home" job. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm a stay hat home mom too and I think I get looked down on because I don't have a college degree and a successful job. It's so frustrating to me since I think it is very important to raise your own kids. One thing that is wrong with this world is so many people are letting day cares or nannies raise their kids. I would like to get out and get a part time job but I would feel bad for leaving my kids. They are the most important thing in my life. People who don't have kids have no idea how hard it is to stay home and clean up after them. It is a full time job (or more).

I would consider you fortunate to stay home with your children. I don't look down upon you. I work full time out of necessity. I have 3 children ages 20, 16, and 12. I have not had what I would consider the luxury of having a man that would support my family, but that's a long story that I won't go into. I don't mind going to work, I like my job and like earning my own money and spending how I want to spend. If staying home with your children works for your family, I would say to keep doing it. Mom (or dad) staying home with their children, keeping up the house, and cooking meals is valuable. I wish I had a someone to rely on like that : ) someone to do the laundry, clean the house, cook, take care of my kids, etc...
Don't worry about what other people think. I just hope that you and your husband stay together, remain committed, do your best, and all will be well in your household.

Do you think that many bought into the lie
Self worth = how much you make + status
therefore
Homemaker = low worth
Instead of denouncing the first lie many bought the first lie. Male chauvinists were catered to and not debunked by women thinking they needed to make more money and work. I am not saying there aren't valid reasons to work and most women who are successful in the workforce probably do it for noble reasons. But there is still the chauvinist idea out there that is driving many to look down on homemakers.

i am a man and i think that you are a great woman, you work 3 times as much as anyone woman out there, you should value your work and not listen to them. i do think that women have all the rights taht men have but i totally agree that some women do get obsessed with being feminists, i think that if women have the opportunity to go to school and become a proffesinal they should do it in a heart beat, but if you want to be a stay at home mother be the best stay at home mother you can be, value yourself

i do not think that there is anything wrong with what you are doing. You are in fact working just not in the conventional sense of the word. I think that it is great that you are able to work from home and be a huge part of your kids lives. it is no doubt a tough job doing all that you do and i hope your hubby appreciates it and doesnt think you are merely a stay at home mom.
