10/05 Moms: Cut the Chaos
Quote From: reginolI'm sure alot of you will probably not like what I have to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. I listen to all the whinning and complaining on todays show and I'm so tired of hearing about these women that don't work outside the home talking about how bad they have it. I work, go to school, my husband works and goes to school and we have a nine year old daughter that needs my time to. I don't have anytime for myself either and I only have one child. Well, get a clue, if your husband isn't helping on the first child, what makes you think he's going to help when you have 3 or four. Besides didn't you know this going into the marriage that he wasn't going to assist especially if you are a "stay at home mom"... That should be something that is discussed before you have kids. Also, women that have small kids I have some sympathy for, but those of you that have school age kids and you are home all day doing "housework", why does the house need to be cleaned everyday? If you keep up with it regularly, it shouldn't be that much. For the lady that her husband kept having a vasectomy and it didn't work, how bout changing doctor's or the woman having her tubes tied. I guess I may be too hard on some of you, but I'm really tired of hearing about all these mom's that don't work talk about how much they have to do. Stop having so many kids.... I found your post very offensive. Your insinuation that women who stay at home don't work as hard as those who work outside the home do, is VERY UNTRUE!! Before I married my husband a year and a half ago, I was a single mother of two, ages 2 and 3 at the time, attending school full time and working full time while supporting my children on my own with NO support from ANYONE! I can tell you without a doubt that being a stay at home mom is MUCH harder than what I did before I was married. I don't spend my entire day cleaning the house. If you have never been a stay at home mother, then you have no idea what goes on in the home and should not be judging anyone. I do laundry for 5 people, cook, clean, drive, go grocery shopping, change poopy diapers, breast feed, AND home school my children. Good parents who stay home teach their children and spend time with them...they aren't sitting on their @sses eating twinkies all day. As far as "discussing" things with your husband before you get married....LOL!!! Men (and women too for that matter) will tell you whatever you want to hear before you get married. Things usually change when you get married, and even the most well intentioned man can get overwhelmed when reality sets in.
