When I was a baby my mom stayed at hom till I was 3 while my dad went to work. ANd she went back to work as soon as possible. My mom was telling me that "it's hard for a Black woman to rest home with her children" I found this to be be some what true for must Black and hispanic mothers. They never seem to catch a break. Even if shes making over $100,000 a year I never seen a Black woman stay at home and be with her kids. I've know one of my neighbors is a stay at home mom and she is Black and shes recieved a lot of judgement and critizcim from everyone else because she stays at home and cleans the house. Do Black women have a stronger sense of independance? Is this a cultural thing?

i think that it is a difference of opinions. My mom worked and then became a stay at home mom , where she cleaned ( a lot!!) . I think that we as women tend to have to work hard because it is in our blood.

I don't think it has anything to do with how much independance a woman has. I was a stay at home mom for a few years and believe me it is not about rest if you are on top of your job anyway... I am sure that woman has more to do than clean the house, yeah it can get boring at times but I fail to see why people don't see this as hard work. I think spending most of your time taking care of your family is an honorable thing, and if you are sitting around doing nothing all day then that is on you. Most of my friends are sahm's and they are black but I do think it is still probably more non-black sahm's.

I grew up with Mom at home and I can't say enough about the benefits! She even homeschooled us for a couple of years! Eventually she started her own housekeeping service and took us to work with her!
