Who says we're going backwards?<BR/><BR/>Why can't women working outside or inside the home be confident enough with their own descisions that they don't have to belittle someone elses?Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103983931637750118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19569503.post-1146782634190835062006-05-04T15:43:00.000-07:002006-05-04T15:43:00.000-07:00stephanie- thanks for coming off hiatus to comment...stephanie- thanks for coming off hiatus to comment-- what great thoughtSsmart mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735299920426843638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19569503.post-1146781025580992582006-05-04T15:17:00.000-07:002006-05-04T15:17:00.000-07:003 chairs sister3 chairs sisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19569503.post-1146703649019334752006-05-03T17:47:00.000-07:002006-05-03T17:47:00.000-07:00Okay, this one got me going too.

I am taking a few minutes from my self-imposed sabbatical.<BR/><BR/>I am grateful for the opportunities that are out there for women. I am thankful for those who fought for that right for us. I know many wonderful women who work outside the home. I am grateful for them. Especially those who choose to teach our children. To you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!<BR/><BR/>That being said, I love my job as a SAHM. I can't imagine doing anything else at this point in my life. This is MY choice, my dream, my hearts desire. Feminism means the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. All things being equal, where is the RESPECT for my choice to do what I want with my life? I get weary of hearing "Oh, you're just a mom?" Yes. I am a mom, there are no "justs" about it.Blackeyedsuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626674680062162360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19569503.post-1146702585596463812006-05-03T17:29:00.000-07:002006-05-03T17:29:00.000-07:00AMEN!

My parents also told me I could be/do anything I wanted, but it was the example of my mother that showed me that motherhood is the finest occupation a woman can have.Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944075197437870258noreply@blogger.com
