If you are living in the 50's , you may be forgiven for saying that. Most women at that time were stay at home moms (SAHM) , looking after the babies, the husband and the home.
This was because there were few jobs for women at that time. They were treated like baby making factories and the stereotype female roles they had to play in that kind of society.
SAHM
The decision may looked difficult but it all boils down to whether you think of your children first or yourself first. Being a SAHM may be unrewarding as compared to a supermom but it is fulfilling to see him/her grow up to be a better and more rounded person.
Those that come from a SAHM environment are more equipped in life and have a better understanding than those who grow up with their absent moms.
It can be a big struggle and sacrifice to give up your career for your children but the decision to become a SAHM is all about giving your best to the child.You brought the child into this world and you let others take care of her/him. It is just like the animal kingdom. We are a higher life form .
If we bring children into this world and then give up most of our time and resources to career, then we are no better than rabbits . Rabbits are much better than us for they looked after the young till they can fend for themselves.
Would you like her/him to grow up without any close family relationship ? The children will grow up without any close or just superficial bond with the supermom. When you are old, they may return you the favour..It is Karma.
We know that in the Western society , the children will grow up and leave their parents , while in the Eastern society, the children will still have ties to their parents until they leave this world.
But this filial piety is slowly disappearing as the children get caught up with the attritions of life and simply have no time to be filial to their parents anymore. Some countries had to make it a law for the children to take care of their parents.
Many of today's generations abandoned their poor parents and left to the state to take care of them.It was a heavy burden since they required more medical support.
Sometimes, it is not about the financial plights or to downgrade to a lower standard of living , it is about bonding with our children. You can be surprised that you can have a lovely and rich life while you exist in the average middle class family or the poor. It was more fun and the children will enjoy their childhood .
It is not about living in a bigger house, driving a bigger car and more of all those material things. Those material things cloud out our real purpose in life . We should concentrate on the human developments
Each and every women will have to decide which is more important to her. Working together to build up a home or an empire.
Being a SAHM is also a full time job though it is often unappreciated ,underpaid and unglamourous .
Think of your life when you were small. If you grew up with a supermom, you would know what you need to do to give your children the best in life.
