Indeed! People act like it’s unfair for women to stay home with the children they have. I have my degree in engineering and my professional engineering license in Florida. I worked pretty darn hard to get those. I stay home now with my 3 year old, took a huge pay cut to do so and will NEVER regret it.
From what we hear, it sounds as if women are told they should have a high powered professional career, and not let family responsibilities stop career advancement.
Its as if women are told they should fit their children and family life in around their professional job commitments. Instead of fitting in any job around their family situations.
And a major.intangible is happiness and contentment. Is a mother and family better off and happier if she is out working long hours to bring home a big paycheck, as compared to working less or not at all outside the home?
Everyone has to make their own choices. But, it seems that the feminist idea of women and professional career advancement can be at odds with family life. Just an observation.
“took a huge pay cut to do so and will NEVER regret it.”
God bless you. It was a tough decision for us just because of the uncertainty of educating your children, but universities now recognize the value of homeschooling. Both our boys received full ride scholarships in the end...and we are closer than you can imagine.
To this day, my boys don’t understand why siblings on sitcoms fight so much. Lol.
And neither will your child. Will probably be much better behaved, centered but not self-centered, and a joy to others, rather than a terror to others.
