[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. I was just reading an article about this. I agreed with most but disagreed with the he notion that it needs to be the mother like the article was focused on. A bit sexist. But anywhoo one of the mom that contributed to an interview for the article stated that what made her realize she hated being a stay at home mom was because her baby girl was overly fussy and never happy, and she resented her husband getting to leave everyday and began to resent her child too. I couldn't believe it. A baby being fussy?! It was like the thought never occurred to the mom to get involved in activities outside the home with the child. Instead being concerned with [i]why[/i] her baby is constantly fussy, she decided to hire someone else to deal with it and went back to work.  :roll:

The next mom that was interviewed stated something to the effect of loving it but then one day her oldest came home from school and they were studying careers and her daughter had drawn a picture of her mother. Apparently the little girl admired her mother for being a great mom and wanted to be like her when she grew up but all the mom got out of it was that her daughter was aspiring to just be a mother and said she wasn't impressed with her child.  So she went back to work to prove she was more than a mom  :roll: so I guess the thought had never occurred to this mother to discuss WHO she is outside of home, before she was a mommy or what she had in store as her own dreams and aspirations for HER future with her older daughter? That's where she failed not by being home. Good parents have perspective and are well rounded and they create those type of children I think. To wear blinders is dangerous. She could've been educating her children on things all along like if she used to work as an architect she could've shown old projects and created things with them to show mom was more than the cook and laundress. It was really disheartening to read. [/quote]
