Replies to '08/19 Tired of Being a Mom'

To have children or not and how many children is a personal choice.  Now what do you say about someone who only wants one baby and ends up pregnant with twins, triplets or more?  What should she do?

Sometimes being a mom isn't easy, especially when they are teens.  I can't think of a more stressful and also rewarding job.  Motherhood might not be for everyone and that doesn't make a person less because she doesn't want children.... but if she already has children, she needs to step up to the plate and become a good parent. 

You speak of woman's rights and speak of it well.  I think that McCain was really smart on his choice of vice president.  Here you have a woman who balances career with family and while her family is a normal family like so many others, right down to the unexpected pregnancy and special needs child, but she is on the ticket for the second highest job in the USA.  Personally, for my choice, I liked being home with my children when they were small.  I went back to school when my youngest went to school.  I wouldn't have given that up for anything in the world.  I know stay at home moms get criticized by women libbers for being supported by a husband and being home all the time.  It too is a choice and should be respected.  For that matter, women need to start respecting each other more all across the board.
