Re: What counts as ‘impressive’ for a girl?
This is a discussion…if you would like for us to consider your post as the ruling opinion here…I am afraid that might not happen. I have an opinion different from yours and you seem to think its wrong…I don’t mind at all. Fair enough. I also never posted anything evil about in-laws but you came up with a strange post suggesting that…ummm…okay. No problem.
In my opinion, every family has different circumstances and to think SAHM moms have it easy is not accurate. Many of these SAHM moms live within a joint family system and don’t just take care of their own children and watch dramas. They also tend to other duties as well. Similarly, many working women live in a joint family system and have the advantage of their in-laws helping out with their children’s chores when they’re at work. I’ve seen this first hand…I know a working mom of two who’s also in school and her in-laws are not the easiest to live with either. The benefit she has is even though they’re difficult her MIL takes care of her kids, cooks and cleans when she’s attending classes in the evenings or working during the day. I’d say she has it easier considering all the help she’s got.
Then you have other examples like one of my sisters: SAHM mom of two kids…husband travels…full time student…no family around. My BFF…SAHM mom of four kids with a traveling husband…part time student. Another close friend…full time working mom and a sick husband.
Who has it easier? Who’s efforts do you want to trivialize and turn into “Whatever…I could do that backwards…in my sleep”.
