p.s. If you think working 50 hours a week is a lot, it's a good thing you're not a stay at home mom

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT

[old and tired]

My kids are grown, but my wife stayed home with them. I currently coach my grandson's basketball team, so I see all kinds of families. I've noticed that if a mother stays home today it generally means that the dad is working a stressful job with a lot of hours (like a physician or attorney) or he works a lot of overtime (like a cop or fireman). Either way, it means dad's just not there to help out the way he was 30 years ago. Being a full time mother was never an easy job, but the demands on the position, coupled with today's lack of respect for the role makes it a tougher job than ever.
