These last couple of weeks I have been thinking so
much about how stay at home moms are viewed, how so often it is seen as a burden
and as something that could be a sign of weakness. My goal in writing today is
to prove how powerful and strong a mother who stays at home really is. I feel
so often mothers who stayed at home are viewed as living a life of luxury because
they get to stay at home, for some reason the title “stay-at-home-mom” brings
off the image of a mom in her pajamas sitting on the couch all day while the
children play happily in their rooms. This is not the case at all if anything a
mother is even lucky if she can get five minutes to herself, it’s an ongoing
job that allows no breaks and sometimes no sleep. As I was searching I came
across an old mother’s day video that will bring any opinion of a stay at home
mother to the highest level.
The world’s
toughest job as the video put it is one of the simplest way’s to do it. We
often times don’t think about the after work hours that mom’s put in and the
day’s off that mothers don’t normally have from staying home with the children.
There are so many times that a mother must forget herself and focus on her
children and yet they do it all with a smile and a positive attitude, they will
say it’s the most rewarding job that they have ever had and know that they are
not JUST a stay at home mom they ARE a stay at home mom. As I was looking into
this more I was able to find a quote by Linda Wooten that says, “Being a mother
is about strengths you didn’t know you had…and dealing with fears you didn’t
know existed”.
We
all need to be so careful in how we treat our mothers and stay at home mothers,
we need to be careful in how we come across and also careful that we are not quick
to judge because we do not know what situation someone may be in. If you are struggling with the fact of being a stay at home mom,
remember one important fact, you are needed, you are a superhero that no other
person can replace and it’s only you that will be their mother forever.
