Stay at Home Mom
ââ¬Å"Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ââ¬Å"She doesn't have what it takes. â⬠à They will say, ââ¬Å"Women don't have what it takes. â⬠à Being a stay at home mother has its benefits but it most definitely has its flaws. In the old days women had no choice but to stay at home; cooking, cleaning, making sure dinner was ready on time. They had no say if they wanted to work or finish school. Just imagine living day to day in the same routine. Visualize waking up at 6:30 am making the beds, then breakfast and that kiss goodbye before he went to work.At first this must feel amazing spending all this time with your child bonding and not missing a moment. But whereââ¬â¢s your me time? 4 out of 5 mothers are happier when they work. They can have adult conversations and take a sick day. Being a stay at home mom is a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week job with no pay. What woman wants to feel financially dependent of her spouse? ââ¬Å"I see my husband once a week. But since he is making the bulk of the income, I can't really be resentful about that. At the same time, I feel like we have two separate lives. â⬠In this day and age budgets are tighter than usual. Why add on to your stress with bills and payments.Itââ¬â¢s true that you might miss out on your childââ¬â¢s first word or first steps but absence makes the heart grow fonder. You canââ¬â¢t be a stay at home mom forever. What will you do with your free time when your child starts school? In most cases the child grows too attached to their mom and doesnââ¬â¢t have enough communication skills to share with other kids. Daycare has evolved because you can go to work and your child learns how to play others. Children become more independent and self-reliant when they don't have you there to do everything for them, which is better for both of you in the long run.You lose a lot of your freedom because your child has to go everywhere with you even the bathroom. When you need time to cook or just take a breather whoââ¬â¢s to say you wonââ¬â¢t just place your child in front of the TV for an hour. Women fought for the opportunity to be as equal as men especially in the job area. We are not less of a mother for thinking of ourselves a little. This shows your child to be strong and independent. Your child will grow attached to you but you will also be more attached to your child. What happens when college comes along and your baby is leaving you. What will you do with all that time, Knit, bake, read.Youââ¬â¢ll go mad and feel abandoned. You wonââ¬â¢t have the skills you did when you were working. Not to say that one is easier than the other they both take a lot of effort. After you work youââ¬â¢ll be exhausted and trying to find time for your kid and husband. You will feel pressured to make the time you do have with your kidââ¬â¢s quality time, so you can actually overwhelm them. As a stay at home mom you w ill have time to clean and more time with friends and family. But overall the extra effort is worth it. Woman will feel more accomplished in their lifeââ¬â¢s and have a sense of purpose.
