Contemporary Domestics

     Hello!!! I've been hearing a lot of slam on domestic women lately. Especially slam on Stay At Home Moms.  Being that I am a SAHM, I guess I thought I would enlighten you.  I have a few points on which i would like to share about this subject.  I might come a cross pretty strong, consider yourself warned.

1st,  Hello everyone I do work.  I wake up to work, I go to sleep at work. Just because my work happens to be with my family, and may not provide $$ but instead saves $$, does not mean what I do, is not a job, or is any less of a job than yours.  Am I saying that this job is for everyone?  No.  It is for who whoever chooses it.  Every job has a place in this world, and those who choose to work at home are not just jobless lazy people. No they are helping their little ones grow into adulthood.  Just like a day care provider, only free.

2nd, I am no less of a person because I happen to have the privilege to do my job in my PJs.  Does that mean I don't ever get dressed, No that's disgusting.  But some days I'm too busy with my 2 todzillas to even notice that I'm still in my pjs, and might not have a bra on.😖 I'm still a person, and if I'm confidant in my own home to run it that way, Yay for me!😁


3rd, I've heard a lot lately that I should just put my kids in day care and work, because that's how the world does things in this 21st century. Excuse me but, one can be contemporary and domestic.  It makes no sense that society thinks we should let some one else raise our children weather we have the chance to raise them ourselves financially or not.  I'm a mom, and I feel that it is best for my family, if they eat from my hand all 3 meals, that I change my babies diapers, and potty train them.  Financially I can do this. This is coming from the girl who has made her own money outside of the home since she was 13 until 6 month ago.  It was hard to let that go, and let my husband take that responsibility fully, but i realize that raising our children is just as important.  Just because it does not bring home a pay check, does not mean its not a job of equal importance.   I know what its like both ways, and when I got the chance, I dove for it.  My babies will only be this small once. I want to hold off on the corporate latter until they are a little more grown.  That is what I find best for my family.   Unfortunately, in the 21st century we are told that we should care about a career more than family. Let me tell you something, my family is my career, and I'm pretty darn good at it.

4th, There is this common misconception, that a SAHM sits around and eats bonbons all day, and that she is lazy. (First let me give you my 'are you for real' face) 😒  Honestly, Most of the moms I know weather they stay at home or not, are the hardest working women out there. Please...who eats bonbons?  Come on people, its dark chocolate and iced coffee! Get with the times!  Staying at home may mean that you have the comfort of being your own boss, but you also have the responsibility of one, and no employees to delegate the work to. AKA you pretty much do all the house work.  You kiss all the booboos, you read Itsy Bitsy Spider 5 million times a day, and then sing in while you do the dishes.  You teach your kids their colors, numbers and names.  Your like a Nanny/Teacher/Maid/Handyman/Cook. You can just label your self as a domestic bad a....

5th,  Being a SAHM is a choice that we choose.  A choice that I chose. I chose this because being a mom to my kids is the best job in the world.  I birthed them, I will raise them to be the best people they can be.  Even when I have to clean up nail polish from every surface of my room, and only get showers when absolutely needed, and some times only eat once a day.  If I'm not complaining, neither should you. This is what I chose, what I want to do.  No one is forcing me to stay in the "prison' with my children. NO, my home is not a prison at all, and I'm choosing to make it the happiest freindlyest (yes I may have just made that word up) place in the world for my children and husband.

All that said, I just want to say, no matter if you stay at home or go to work, if your a mom, your the best!  I know that you are doing what you know is best for your family.  Don't let unwanted advise on how to live your life waver you or disrupt your day.  Its your life, live it to the fullest!  If you have a mom, Go show her some love!  <3
