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.
I think you’re correct. At some point people (women) need to decide that they’re not going to let someone else tell them what they “should” do, and do what is best for their family. All the women who complain about people saying things like “You’re just a mom.” need to grow up. Of course, as God goes more and more out of fashion, a mother’s role becomes further and further from what He wants it to be.
High powered career. She is making $2,400 per month take per month. She makes around $36 to $45k per year. He probably makes 2x’s that. They would be better off having her stay at home.
It costs her more money to work than she earns.
