This is a question I get asked all the time as a stay at home mom. Okay maybe it's not worded quite like that, but the message is always the same.....
"So you don't work?"
"Don't you want your kids to interact with other kids?"
"I guess it was easier to choose to stay home because you didn't have a career before kids"
or my personal favourite..... "What do you do all day? I'd go crazy!" Well on any given day I would agree that I am crazy, but not due to lack of things to do.
So before you ask a SAHM why she chooses that option, please remember it is a choice. One I made, but understand it is not for everyone. One that although is right for me and my family, does not mean everyone could or should do it.
We all make choices everyday.... what to eat, what time to wake up, to not use our turn signal in our vehicle, everything we do is a choice. This is just another one that some make because to them it makes sense. To them it feels right. It doesn't make me less of a person or a better mom. It just makes me.... well me.
