"Do I work ? Yes, I am a Mom! That makes me an alarm clock, cook, maid, a doctor, fashion adviser, waitress, teacher, nanny, nurse, handyman, security officer, photographer, counselor, a lifelong student, an event planner, a personal assistant, an ATM, & a comforter. I don't get holidays, sick pay or day's off. I work through the DAY & NIGHT. I am on call every hour for the rest of my life. post if you're a proud mom :)"
OK...there is nothing wrong being a fulltime mom/housewife/homemaker. If you are giving your best, you are an AWESOME mom/wife/spouse/significant other! You should be proud. Who cares what others say about not having a job. Working for a company can be good but can also be so bad. If you are the person who loves your job, then that is great! However, being a mother is still the primary job. I would not call it a 'job'.....it is a responsibility, gift, and also privilege.
I personally would have a hard time being a fulltime mom. I have been working ever since I am out of high school. School fulltime and work almost fulltime until I got my bachelor's degree. Then started my job right after graduation...no break. Took maternity leaves for both of my boys and continue working until now.
I do love my job, of course it's not always fun fun fun...there are ups and downs. Just the basic of life cycle. But when it comes to my children, they are my number 1 priority. If I can not be there when they need me, I make sure my great wonderful husband (their awesome daddy) is there for them. I also have wonderful family/relatives and friends who give me tremendously great support.
So ladies who are also the loving mothers...YOU ROCK!
