[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think what you are doing is incredibly valuable.  Just as much, if not more than, many who work outside the home.  You are raising the next generation and I believe that a generation can make or break this planet.  If it helps you can approach each day as a work day.  Plan it out like you would at the office.  Put your utmost into every aspect of it.  Most of all, enjoy the heck out of it!  It's a gift to be able to raise your kids, to help mold them, to teach them interpersonal skills that will give them the best shot at a happy life.  It's a great job and I can't even measure the value--it's immeasurable.  [/quote]

NP. And working moms aren’t raising the next generation? I think that’s the OP’s point. [b]She knows she is contributing less and is fine with it. She’s telling the cringey SAHMs to stop deluding themselves.[/b][/quote]

Wow, that wasn't what I got at all.  I don't think SAHMs are doing more or less than working moms.  I thought she was a SAHM that was struggling to define her worth.  I don't see it as a competition.  FTR, I've been on both sides of this fence.  I still don't see it as a competition and never will.  [/quote]
