few weeks ago Name Bubbles
posted a news link on our Facebook page from Forbes.com Why Stay-At-Home Moms Should
Earn A $115,000 Salary. The story explained how much stay at home moms should make if you calculate the
various duties and responsibilities they have.
The
purpose of the story was to put a number on the modern stay at home mom’s day-to-day deliverables. As
you may be aware, the
Working Mom vs. Stay At Home Mom (SAHM)
debate has been widely publicized recently, but we didn’t anticipate that
sharing the link to the Forbes story would start a spirited debate between our
working mom and stay at
home mom Facebook fans.
It was a “Hot Button” and a few dads left comments
as well.
I’ve personally lived both sides of the issue and found that being
a parent is never easy; you take the bad
with the good and do your best in raising your child/children. I have one five
year old son and can say without a doubt, mothering or being a good parent is the most
challenging and rewarding part of my life. So, why am I pushing the “Hot
Button” again? Because our special day is coming up, Mother’s Day, and it is the
one day I have no guilt or problem asking for help and taking a little time for
myself. Of course, I do plan something with my husband and son but I love
sneaking away for “Me Time”. I think all Moms everywhere deserve “Me Time” a
little more often.
This Sunday, let’s make a promise to each other as mothers: kick
the guilt trips and do something special for ourselves (or a fellow mom!) once
a week for the entire year. Whether it be, reading on a sunny park bench for an
hour, seeing friends for lunch or coffee, or dropping the laundry off to be
washed and folded (I really like that one).
Make this Mother’s Day a day to declare, “A happy mommy
makes a happy home”.
