Working mom or stay at home mom

Posted by nzpcs-member | January 23, 2008 .

I read an article recently about working moms and stay at home moms in a magazine.

We see lots of these articles portraying working moms depriving their children during their growing and formative years. Then we see articles about stay at home moms doing themselves a disservice by neglecting their own development and their future.

What do these two types of moms have in common?

They both made a decision that that’s what they wanted to do at this motherhood period of life. We seem to forget that they are entitled to make that decision and it was probably made in discussion with their partner.

We have heard of working moms where children grow up maladjusted and it has been blamed just on that fact. But we conveniently forget that we have also heard of children growing up maladjusted where the mother is a stay at home mom.

In all probability this means that it is the method of bringing up your child that is important not whether you’re a working mom or a stay at home mom.

I would thing that a mom who wants to work and stays at home instead would have an adverse subconscious affect on her child even if she does not think she does.

Alternatively a mom that goes to work but would rather be home with her children would have the same affect.

The only difference with the above would be that the mom who works and would rather be at home with her children may have to work because of financial reasons.

In some countries this is alleviated because of generous governmental allowances given to stay at home moms and in most cases also to working moms who usually have the additional expense of finding child care.

But in all, this doesn’t matter. It’s what the moms feels she needs to do for her own peace of mind and wellbeing as well as the children’s.

I abhor these people who make working moms feel guilty. I also abhor those people who put down the stay at home mom as they see it as women once again being put on and neglect to understand that these moms are intelligent thinking people

So what have we here.

The “stay at home mom” who loves being with her children and prefers that to working.

The working mum who manages (and they do) her working life in conjunction with looking after her children adequately but still like the first loves here children.

The only thing that disappoints me is a lot of the downers are the stay at home moms and the working moms.

Remember moms you each made a decision and you should be respected for the decision you made, after all you are the same as anyone else who have made decisions in their life.

The one and only thing that you should be concerned about is that your children grow up in a loving stable environment.

With the advent of the internet there are great opportunities for those stay at home moms and also those working moms who would rather be at home with their children.

There is a plethora of information on the internet about earning a living using the internet. A soon to be released system “The “Million Dollar Blueprint” is just one of the many.

So go ahead Moms and find work while staying at home.
