The grass is not al...Don't even listen to them. The grass is not always greener. I was a stay at home mom for a while and there are a lot of pros and cons of any choice you make. <br /><br />1. Most stay at home moms have a higher risk of accumulating debt and not being able to get it paid due to only having one income. <br /><br />2. Stay at home moms more often than not miss talking to and seeing adults.<br /><br />3. Their children have serious separation issues and a hard time adjusting when time to go to school.<br /><br />There are pros and cons to working outside the home too but of course, but you know those and I know those.<br /><br />It's one of those things that you kind of have to smile and nod to. Some women are lucky to be stay at home moms, but what happens when it's time for them to start a career? Or if they have to take a break from their career? 5 or more years is a long time to take a break or wait for a career... and at the rate people are going to and graduating college right now... Oh, not to mention the economy, what will they do then? Don't worry about their opinions. It's not about what's best for them. It's about what is best for you. Don't ever feel guilty about doing what's right for your family. <br />Just think about how much better off your son will be behaviorally (Is that a word?) speaking. <br /><br /> I will keep my fingers crossed for you and your family. I hope that if at some point you are able to stop working, then you are able to do that.Queen Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532931547944443710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595403390887802653.post-43831239618147357082010-01-19T22:58:40.553-05:002010-01-19T22:58:40.553-05:00Unfortunately women are often the most savage crit...Unfortunately women are often the most savage critics of other women. We all make the decisions that are necessary for our lives. They may not be the decisions we would like to make but they are the necessary ones for our families. Your child(ren)will always know they are the most important part of your life and you will make decisions that allow them to feel loved and secure and also to thrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
