| I agree with some of what you said. I think that being a stay at home mom certainly is not the hardest job out there. but in your other examples, the moms with carreers, or who were going to school, were also moms. They are dealing with the stress of supporting a family, and raising a family, coupled with the knowledge that by focusing on one, you are sacrificing the other.
I think the mothers you described who treat children asa burden rather than a welcome addition fall more into the victim\martyr category. As a mom, I know it can be trying sometimes, but I would never choose anything else. I think people get caught up in a cycle of getting more and wanting more that they forgot to look at what they already have as a positive thing. |
