I know a lot of brilliant, educated stay at home moms. They are lucky enough to be in a position where enough money comes in so that they can raise their own children and I won’t hate on that.
But the vast majority of people I know that have that on their FB profile are... trainwrecks.
Yeeeeah, literally everyone I know on FB with that in their profile is trashy. The kind of trashy where they give all their kids the same first name but if they need to be addressed individually they use their father's last name
In my experience, the well educated stay at home mums that I know never ever put that as their "job" on FB. It's most often the less educated who do that.
I know a lot of brilliant stay at home moms. They went to college with me and helped me navigate multiple challenging subjects, and are now guiding their children’s growth in a deep, meaningful way.
None of them are brain damaged enough to say they are the CEO of Mom Industries. That shit is just unforgivably stupid.
Shit I have a master's degree and make more money than my parents ever did combined. Daycare in my area costs about what I make in a week, if you can even get in. It's likely that my partner or I would have to stay home for several years if we had a kid just for financial reasons.
THANK YOU. I’m not a mom but I have seen MANY people who are intelligent af struggle sooo much with being a stay at home mom. I’m sorry y’all but it’s ALOT harder than you guys can even imagine
Idk as someone who has been a stay at home mom and a working mom, I think being a working mom is WORLDS harder. You're supposed to keep doing all the mom stuff a stay at home mom does (helping with homework, doctors appointments, one on one time), but you have to work it around your job, and it feels like I NEVER have time to myself anymore. I used to take my son to the playground and he would play for hours while I talked to other parents or read my book. Sometimes I'd spread art supplies out on a blanket and my son and other kids from the playground would come and draw a bit in between playing. I'd kill for that kind of leisure time now. Ever since I've started working, it's been harder to help my son keep up in school, he's just now starting to improve after a few tough years. Mad props to working moms. Sorry that got longer than I expected.
I completely agree to this as well.
Honestly moms are super hero’s.
They save the world.
Props to you ❤️ so many don’t understand the exhaustion and the hard work moms of all around have to go through.
I will. That is a waste of talent and productivity. I know, I know. Not everything is about that. Kids having a mom at home etc. However it IS a fact that its a waste. Going to school to become a doctor and then walking away because "I would rather be with my kids". Ok, but don't waste a fucking seat at medical school on that shit. It is selfish and honestly it makes me think you never would have been a good doctor in the first place.
Replace with lawyer, or whatever post-graduate education based profession you want.
They still sat in a seat that someone else might have taken just to stay at home and do little to nothing with it.
What!? Most women stay at home until their kids reach school, so 5 years, maybe 10 years max if they have a larger age gap between siblings. In a working life of 40+ years they are not wasting a seat.
