Hi Kendall,

You are blessed to have a husband so you can stay at home. If I had the choice, I probably would too. However, I have to go earn the paycheck. My home equity has decreased significantly and with the unemployment rate increasing, I pray the company I work for stays viable. I apologize, I am also guilty of not being completely informed.

As I stated before, that is what the women’s movement was about…to embrace all choices and support each other’s choices. Blessings to you!

Congrats Regina. I don’t mean to sound pompous and I can see you are the typical working mom with little to no time for relaxation. I was that same kind of working mom until my hubby landed a dream job that would allow me to raise my family without all that stress. Yes, we did opt to rent for now. My hubby took a job in another state and we were apart for an entire year while we tried to sell a house in the ATL real estate market a year ago. And the higher end homes take longer. In here, I have been judged first that I was a prima donna and then second some loser because I rent. I’d say I’m pretty smart to rent until the market corrects itself. Who would want to purchase in this market just to see their equity plummet another 10%? I already lost $60K in ATL. I am bi-racial so I applaud your accomplishments. Give it up girl.

Kendall,

Actually I do all I stated. If I don’t, it doesn’t get done. And, yes, I am exhausted so I eat right, take my vitamins and calcium supplements, make each second count, and pray. When I play with the children, it is active play, so all of us can get exercise and have fun. I am not Supermom, I just decide what is important and what really needs to get done right away. Others things wait until the weekend.

You are not the enemy, just get off your pedestal and stop judging working moms. The purpose of the women’s rights movement was to give a woman choices without condemning the choice of other women.

Also, by the way, I come from a line of educated women of color. I am the fourth generation college graduate of that line. They attended college when it was extremely hard being a woman and being a woman of color. We were blessed to have land passed down but the women still worked to build on the foundation of the previous generation. They worked so future generations could have choices.

I believe you really don’t mean to be pompous…you are just not completely informed.

Some things have moved forward but some not. Although some of you may have husbands who share the responsibilities at home, most households are still traditional in that area. We put in hours at the office and then come home to our second job while our husbands for the most part, get to relax. Sure they mow the lawn but that’s only seasonal. As winter sets in, all goes dormant. The household chores never end.

Wow. I had no idea I would invoke so much rage. Regina. Enjoy that crock pot. And I’m oh so sure THAT sign is posted in your kitchen. Don’t preach to the choir girl. I WAS a full-time working mom and now I’m a stay at home mom. There is no way a working mom can be all these things. Give it up. Been there and done that. You girls have just got to stop pretending. It’s OKAY that you aren’t supermom. Nobody can be if you’re juggling career and family. Why am I the enemy? I’m just delivering the honest message. Working women get sooo defensive when challenged that they can’t be 100% in every area. Jesus Christ. How can you be? I couldn’t. And not ashamed to say it. It was hard. Now all you girls who say it’s a cake-walk? Really? Is it?

Deirdre_NC,
Thanks for schooling kendall! She doesn’t have a clue what single moms go through, working and raising children alone. We have to do it all. And, by the way Kendall, my children eat a home-cooked meal every day. Some busy moms who work utilize crock pots and cooking on the weekend in preparation for the week ahead to ensure their family has a good meal. By the way, the delicious dinner you brag about so much was probably cooked by your chef.

In my kitchen, I have a sign which states the following:

“No job too big, No problem too small. Ms. Fix It.”

FCM you may watch those documentaries but the real joke falls on those of us who are still victims of the women’s movement. I would wager that most working women fall in this category. Those who DO succeed? They make it hell for the rest of us because men still look at us as a joke.
