I missed the show, thankfully because I would have been a nervous wreck and it would have made me mad.

Lately, many blogs have been ranting about homeschooling vs public school and I know that I can just click off their blog, but people are so JUDGEMENTAL! On both sides. I am doing the best I can as a mom and we have made choices that are best for OUR family. I don’t make people feel superior or inferior for their choices with their children, I think we all need to support each other. Same thing with SAHM vs working moms, not everyone has the choice that I had. Until I have walked a day in their shoes, I am not going to give my opinion on their life choices. Plus, they did not ask my opinion anyway (haha).

Oh, but I do have to say, isn’t it funny that shows like Dr. Phil’s always finds the mom that is the stereotypical everyone else is wrong and I am right SAHM. For the record, I am a homeschool mom with many pairs of Gap jeans, cute shoes and never wear a denim skirt or my hair in a bun. UGH stereotypes.

Hey…you say any ol’ thing you want on this blog! And I completely understand your opinion and agree with you to a certain degree. That being said, I know some pretty awesome moms who do both, raise their kids and work outside the home. It’s definitely a hard call! Thanks for being honest!

I think moms should stay home. I KNOW there are reasons to work and I UNDERSTAND that not everyone has a choice (though I think more of them do than are willing to admit it) but – well, I think staying home is the best. Not that working make you a bad parent, but I think it’s second best.

But I’m only going to say that on your blog. Not mine. 🙂

Very well said, Daphne and I wholeheartedly agree! This world is made up of all kinds of different people in different circumstances. To ignorantly suggest that there is only ONE way to raise a child in this ever-changing world is backward and archaic. (Geez, where did that come from?) =)

Donald and I spend a lot of time talking about it, though. There are so many ways to parent and/or to work. I think everyone has to find their own balance, especially since every child is also different and has varied needs. It’s too bad that Dr. Phil’s show seems to increase conflict rather than promoting understanding that parents just need to do what is best for their children, themselves, and the lifestyle they want to have.

Agreed. I completely agree with the comment about women who put their careers ahead of their kids…serial career moms. There is definitely a fine balance in all situations. I prefer to be home but know that if I had to go back to work I would do all in my power to find and enhance the positive side of it. =)

But it’s okay, there are some SAHM’s who are really not qualified for the job either.

I preferred to stay at home but that’s just me. Everyone has to do what works best for them.
