Ahhh,the Mommy Battle is back in the headlines once again.
A big thanks to Hilary Rosen,a Democratic activist,for dissing Anne Romney as a stay-at-home mom and stirring up the debate once again between the working mom and the SAHMs. To say that Ann Romney “never worked a day in her life”after raising 5 kids is an insult to all mothers.
I worked in corporate America for 15 years and for a few of those,I was a working mom and let me tell you,going to work for a few hours a day was like therapy for me. Being a mother,while very rewarding,is the most difficult 24/7 job a woman can have. The typical mom day doesn’t end at 5 pm and we are off the clock. To make matters worse,for Hilary Rosen to say that I’m out of touch with the economy because I’m a stay-at-home mom,honey,you got it all wrong. I’m certainly well aware that the economy is in the toilet. After all,I’m the one that buys everything from toilet paper to underwear,cognizant of the prices at the pumps and in tune with what’s going on around the country.
At the end of the day,all mothers,whether they receive an actual paycheck or not,need to be respected. We need to just put this thing to bed,move on and deal with the presidential campaign issues at hand in order to get our country back on track.
