First let me say, BOTH are tough….my problem here is WHY is this a battle?  I dislike reading the articles proclaiming that SAHM’s will resent their choices, that it is better to earn a couple hundred dollars a month than stay home with your kids, etc.  In reality, this is about CHOICES.  IF you work and don’t want to stay home with your kids…FINE, don’t, but don’t insult me because I made a different choice.  Staying home with the kids is a tiring, thankless job…for the most part.  There are times (see my other post regarding money) when I feel like my contribution to this family is little if any, but at the same time….I couldn’t bare the thought of someone else being there with my boys while I worked.  That said…THAT is my opinion, how others choose to handle this situation is not my business, nor do I judge people for what they do.  Staying home…working, it is a choice and shouldn’t we, as women, support one another?
