For anyone who's ever lost.

Some of us can handle the staying at home thing and indeed love it, some of us need to work (and not just for economic reasons!). It's none of anyone's business what you choose to do, so get that knife right out of your back this instant! I just read your previous post as well, and you mustn't feel bad. There are days when motherhood is just plain hard! Contented moms make for happier children and if working is what works for you than that is what you should do.Honestly, why does everyone feel they can tell women what is best for them and their families? Only you and your family can decide that, and - I'll say it again - it's none of anyone else's business!April@The 21st Century Housewifehttp://www.21stcenturyhousewife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406173063329064022.post-24598207936090943152010-10-07T08:22:03.528-07:002010-10-07T08:22:03.528-07:00You're absolutely right, the grass is equally ...You're absolutely right, the grass is equally green. You are a loving, caring mom that is doing what's best for you and your family, and that is what will make your child a secure and loving person - regardless of what that decision actually is. <br /><br />Erg, judgemental crap makes me so mad!!<br /><br />Stay strong... and conflicted...as we all are!!<br /><br />Peryl http://blog.seattlepi.com/parentingadabsurdum/parenting ad absurdumhttp://blog.seattlepi.com/parentingadabsurdum/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406173063329064022.post-27875363671784457492010-10-07T06:42:58.410-07:002010-10-07T06:42:58.410-07:00Well that's just crap.

In fact, the time away may make you become a better mother (see absence makes the heart grow fonder). Staying at home, to me, is both a blessing and a curse. I love that I don't miss a moment of my kids life, but I also wonder what I'm missing out there in the real world. We should not judge a woman based on whether her job is inside or outside of the home. Instead, we should stand together and applaud each other for being good mothers. I'm very glad that you made a decision that works for you, and that you are happy in it!! :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120194114782677530noreply@blogger.com
