Interesting

So we were supposed to be talking about fathers this last week but what I thought was interesting was actually an article we were supposed to read called "Does a full time home maker swap her mind for a mop?" It talked about how many look down on woman who decide to be a stay at home mom instead of going out and getting an education, being successful in a career in the workforce, and "living a fulfilling life". Many think that you just stop learning and growing when you decide to stay home and take care of your family because you don't go to school or necessarily talk to adults other then your husband but none of that has to be true.
The only job Ive ever truly wanted is to be a mother. I am working on a degree of course and so I will be prepared to work if its necessary but once I have children I want to be able to raise them, In my mind its the most important job a woman could have, and for me the only fulfilling one. A mother is a driving force and these children we are bringing into the world are our future, Our Countries futures, the Planets future. They are important. I know for a fact they learn a lot from the example and love their mothers show. A child who feels totally loved and knows their mother will always be their is healthier then a child with parental issues. Fathers are of course important too but they have a different kind of connection with the children. It was the mother who carried them for 9 months and went through excruciating pain to bring them here.
A perfect example of a successful mother is my own. She has stayed home to take care of us our entire lives. Even though I am no longer living at home she still sends me packages all the time and I am constantly getting flowers from her and my father. My mother has friends and is active in our church. Serving others constantly and the best she can. She takes fantastic care and is patient with my brother who is said to have a learning disability and my sister who is hard headed, stubborn and knows what she wants. She has become a psychotherapist, a reki master, and continues to read, learn, and develop skills and talents in her free time, either that or shes helping someone or hanging out with us. My mother has learned to multi task like no other and she still helps my dad out at work by planning the work parties and taking lunch to the manager meetings once a month. My mother is a home maker but my mother is one of the wisest, smartest, happiest, most giving, amazing, selfless, accomplished, wonderful people I know! Now tell me woman shouldn't stay home. I wouldn't have this amazing relationship with my mother is she wasn't home with me after, during, and before school or whenever else I needed her. She was always there, always home, If I didn't wanna be a alone I didn't half to be and my mother and I are best friends because of it.
