More rubbish!! I found no less than 72 references to full time mothers in one search engine!!
Not to mention this tripe:
"A word of warning to feminists, this opinion is politically incorrect. To say working mother is an oxymoron. All mothers, especially those who are married, are working the equivalent of two full time jobs. My heart goes out to those women who are in a position where they have to work outside the home if their hearts are at home.
With the woman's rights movement that was flaunted around me as I was growing up in the 1970's, I was encouraged to think in grand terms of what I could possibly be. Then I was discouraged by my father's old fashioned notions and my mother's religious ideas. I wanted to do more than just "women's jobs" like teacher, secretary, or nurse. I thought I would be bored to tears at those occupations. I was thinking along the lines of writer, pilot, archeologist, disc jockey or something I thought would be exciting before I settled down and got married and can pursue a career from my home.
My mom worked a full time job when I was in third grade. Before that time she was pleasant. She had more time to be with my sister and me. She was there to help with homework. She was there to talk to when we needed someone. She was not as cranky, miserable, tired, and unpleasant until she worked a full time job. The load of the housework fell on me and my sister who was younger. An 8 and 6 year old cannot exactly clean a house very well without supervision and we had to bear the brunt of her wrath when the house wasn't clean. We fell behind on school work. I guess you can say we noticed the difference when mom wasn't home.
It wasn't her fault. We needed the money. My dad was reluctant to having her work, but allowed her since we were desperate. I knew if she had her way, my dad would be making more than enough money to support the family and she would be the perfect wife. Instead, she was tired at the end of the day and still had more to do. Us children were simply put on the back burner.
My husband's mother was also a full time worker as a secretary and kept very late hours. Most of the time she did not come home until 10pm. She had five children who had to fend for themselves for most of the day. Those were some of the most foul, obnoxious children you would ever want to meet. They would make the South Park children seem like boy scouts.
I attempted to work an outside job when my first child was born. The work schedule was too hard to juggle with a premature baby at home. We needed the money since we were in our first apartment and had hospital bills, but I just couldn't do it. I was up all day with my baby and stayed up all night in a gas station. Not only was I worn out physically, but when I saw my baby I felt sad that I did not have the energy I needed to be her mother. Eventually I did quit to seek at home employment opportunities.
Today, my full time job is wife and mother of two children. I do what I can to stretch the budget. I make what money I can through at home jobs, some better than others. We are by no means rich. In fact, we are making about $1500 a month. However, the benefit of being home and watching my children grow up is worth more than any money than I could make working a full time job.
The key to being a mother is one of priorities. Once you become a parent, most of your rights end when it comes to the needs of the child. A child needs to have a parent available to them 24 hours a day. It may be politically incorrect to say it, but unless you are in a situation of abject poverty or divorce, you should be at home with your child if you decide to have that child. It could be either the mother or the father or both who chose to stay home, but someone needs to be with the child who is not in the day care industry. A child needs a parent available at all times as much as they need shelter, food and clothing.
For women who have to work or choose to work, you need to set aside some quality time everyday specifically for your child. You also need to have some time for yourself so you will not burn out.
There needs to be a better system to support those who are at home with children. Tax breaks for stay at home mothers, loan programs for parents running at home businesses, assistance for those with needs for their children without welfare and so forth would help more mothers stay at home with their children. For mothers who have to work, they should get breaks for child care and more opportunities to leave work when something comes up with their children.
It is not easy to be a mother who has to work outside the home. I just cannot accept it as proper for a mother of children younger than 14 who work outside of the home. It seems a bit selfish. As a parent, part of that responsibility is self sacrifice. If you cannot sacrifice that part of your life, maybe you shouldn't have children. Once you have children and are put in a position where you have no other choice but to take on another job, then life becomes really hard."
On this website, there was a button to press "How helpful to you was this opinion" and 19 people put "Very helpful".
There was another site called "Feminist mothers at home"!! Surely that is a contradiction in terms. It was all about how we should do as men say and not have any money of our own because it damages kids for us to work!
