When I was growing up both my mom and dad worked long hours which meant I was in after care everyday. I was almost always the last kid picked up and I hated it. I remember being really jealous of the kids whose parents were able to pick them up after school (or soon thereafter). In addition, by the time we got home it was time to eat dinner, take a bath, and go to bed. In junior high, I became a little lost and if someone had been around when I got home, it would have made a huge difference.

With all that said, they did their best to make sure we did fun things on the weekends and that I was able to participate in the activities that were really important to me. Also, because she worked we were able to live in this area in a nice house and a great school district. She sacrificed so that I could have things she never did growing up and was an outstanding role model as a strong working woman.

At this point I am choosing to be a SAHM but I am new to the gig and might change my mind someday. Obviously, being able to work part-time or have a flexible schedule would be the best situation but not everybody is lucky enough to have that. My mother's generation fought so that we could have the CHOICE to stay home or work...NOT so that we had to work 70 work weeks. I know my CHOICE is not the one that many around here make, however, I do not judge anybody else and would appreciate the same courtesy.

Signed, 
A non-fat slob SAHM
