(529 posts)I hate this kind of thinking. Women do most of the world's unpaid work and without their labor nothing else could be done. No one would have clean clothes, tidy houses or cooked food. Not every woman wants to work 9-5 in the outside world anyways. Nor does every man. Plus, stay-at-home moms almost never stop working. They don't get lunch breaks, the kids just don't sit down and stop moving just because you're tired!
I don't understand why parents (of both genders) get so much crap, especially from other women! I know that there are 7 billion people now, but still, moms are the reason we exist. Someone took the time to raise the rest of us!
I'm not some "mommy blogger" and I'm not sorry, but screw Amy Glass and her sexist post. Working at home, wether or not you get paid for it (and I think we should come up with a way to pay stay-at-home mothers), is every bit as important as so called "real work". It may actually be even harder, on average, too.
