Our Worth As Women

I was always Team Jennifer (Aniston). She was my favorite “friend,” I love her hair, blah, blah, blah. And yesterday she said something that really makes a hell of a lot of sense.

To paraphrase: Our worth as women shouldn’t be defined by marriage or having children.

I agree=100%!

Kids aren’t for everyone, marriage isn’t for everyone, and it’s great that people know this. They recognize this and are ok with it. I adore my boys, I love being a mom, but not everyone thinks like me, and why should they?

But it goes both ways. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard, “OH, I could never just sit around all day.” When people find out I’m a SAHM.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve had people ask me if Roy allows me to do certain things. He makes the money, so somehow that makes me less of a partner. For the record, no I don’t need to talk to Roy and get his permission to run to the store.

I can’t tell you how many times I;ve had people explain to me current events, political agendas or told me who someone was, because apparently being a SAHM means I can only watch cartoons and read Dr. Seuss.

This boils down to respect-on both sides. Just as some aren’t defined by their decision to NOT have kids, I’m not defined by my decision TO have children. I love being a mom, but it isn’t all I am.

I’m a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter.

I’m a writer, but most importantly, I’m an adult. I take (or try to anyways) responsibility for my decision and at the end of the day, I’m happy with who I am and what my choices in life have been.
