Re: What counts as ‘impressive’ for a girl?
There may be some backlash following my comments but these are my views. I don’t understand why stay at home moms/women/home makers feel the need to be constantly applauded and appreciated for what they do? We all have jobs, some have them outside the house and some have them inside the home. If you think about it, stay at home women DO have it easier- they can get up when they want, rest when they want and essentially DO what they want whereas in a work environment you follow your work’s rules. How many women applaud their husbands for going to work everyday? Why would you then expect to be applauded for carrying out your role? It doesn’t make sense. You choose to stay at home so that means you choose to carry out the duties associated with that but don’t expect to be treated like you change the world everyday by cooking, cleaning and ironing (not saying that women who have careers change the world but just in general).
You may have a point but I think mums both working or staying at home deserve at a lot of credit. However, the part in bold is not true at all. I don’t have kids but I’ve seen plenty of stay at home mums to know that this isn’t true at all.
