This was in the mid-70's and the women's movement was here to stay, but, new. I remember the working mommies looking upon me with pity when I stated that I stayed home. <br /><br />Years later, when the children were in school and I had my days free to work part-time, I got looks of pity again, only from the stay at home mommies, feeling sorry that I had to work outside the home. It seems whatever the trend is at the time, that is what gauges others' opinions. <br /><br />In both of my cases, I was doing what I wanted and what was best for me and my children. You know what? We made it! We always did and we always will! It may not have been all we wanted, but, it was sure plenty of what we needed!<br /><br />You are a pioneer among mommies nowadays! Just like I was a pioneer by staying home. It will all work out! <br /><br />Thanks for bringing this up!<br /><br />Su suruhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046056449840401413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-78397686054830605252013-11-12T16:20:24.323-06:002013-11-12T16:20:24.323-06:00Thank you for bringing out the reality of it all. ...Thank you for bringing out the reality of it all. I am a mom of 2 boys, one being special needs and I am planning to home school next year. <br />When you say home school around here people either stop talking to you or are in support because the Core.<br />But you brought it to a truth... just being a good mom is the key! thanks for sharing your thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07048123201883254478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-11120005381077271612013-11-06T21:59:33.715-06:002013-11-06T21:59:33.715-06:00You're not alone!

I feel bad when we can't do things because we don't have as much money, but I like being around my kids. I also wonder if I should home school, but I fear not doing a "good enough" job at it. Sometimes I think I should go back to work, but I really don't know. Being a mom is tough!Melissahttp://www.kiddskreations.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-86080180796276013352013-11-06T13:38:28.471-06:002013-11-06T13:38:28.471-06:00I was a stay at home mom and raised 3 children - n...I was a stay at home mom and raised 3 children - now 32, 30 and 27 years old - and the same argument was going on that many years ago. I could never understand why mothers didn't support each other more. We all choose what's best for our families, there is no "one size fits all".<br /><br />You're a great mom. There are no "Super Moms". We all struggle and some how things come out just fine in the end :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101378793879996515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-78000943450243700452013-11-06T11:12:39.126-06:002013-11-06T11:12:39.126-06:00Yes Rita, I struggle every day because as a full ...Yes Rita, I struggle every day because as a full time student I missed every field trip my kids had so far...but I'm doing this (my studies) because I want to have a better paying job so that I can help supporting their needs. <br />If we do our best in showing them love and support, they will know it an appreciate it.<br />Sometimes doing your best is all it takes!<br />xoxoxo,<br />Katarina<br />P.S.
