The left views full-time homemakers as individuals who, because of patriarchy and other nefarious forces, have abandoned their minds to the lowest intellectual activity the human being can engage in: homemaking.

And just who raised those on the left who are denigrating full time motherhood? Did their Mamas stay home and raise them, but bitch and moan their whole lives? Or were their Mamas career women who didn't think child rearing that important? Either one of those two options are possible, but it could also be that these folks just got brainwashed by the 'grievance studies' classes they took in college, and they certainly don't want to appear unsophisticated by disagreeing with those august professors.

I loved being a stay at home Mom, and I had that luxury, because when we married, hubby and I made a deal; I'd work until the first one was born, then I'd stay home and my career would be as the first teacher, chief cook, taxi driver, class Mom, school volunteer, etc. Some of my friends didn't have that opportunity to be home full time, but they did the best they could.

Each family has to choose its own way, and I don't think any of them should be made to feel less of a family, or guilty, whether Mom is working only at home, or has that job and another one for which she receives wages.

Hubby and I did the same agreement. He worked outside the home I stayed at home with the five kids. I would never trade my staying at home for anything! We did have to budget hard but it was worth it. My kids are old enough now that they really appreciate it. And I never swapped my mind but I did lose it a few times!
