The thing that makes me wonder is this: is the woman who stays at home =
permitted to or does she have the alternative, if she so choses, to =
work out side the home? I have been in both places Second hubby =
couldn't deal with me working outside the home. He was also abusive. =
Took me 11 years but he is history.
Husband now says I can do what I want as long as I pull my weight (and =
that would be alot!) and I like to work. I get bored easily so I have =
had quite a few different jobs. I don't expect that this will be my last =
job even tho' I am enjoying myself and I suspect that if my art/craft =
education gets moving a little more rapidly that I may find myself a =
stay at home working woman by choice. That would be a dream for me but =
now I must go outside to work so I can make money to get where I want to =
be. I believe I can make that happen.
It's choice that makes it important. I know many stay at home mothers =
that work harder than their husbands. They say they are happy and you =
can see it in their homelife. Then there are the ones forced to saty at =
home. I don't know how to explain it but it's just not eh same. And the =
mothers who work outside the home may not have the house cleaning and =
kept kids all together but you can tell if they're happy. Working is =
what you make of it. If you enjoy what and where you are then is it =
really work? Just a thought..... =20
