It’s just who I am. And my daughter deserves a mother who does what is right for her, not one who does what others think is right for her. It’s all about setting an example.</i> Bravo! Very well said, Ter. And I think we all got where you were coming from Renee. But just reading these posts made me want to start writing my heroine. It is such a hot button, especially in my neighborhood. My sister and I have this discussion all the time - quality versus quantity. And I suppose that's not even what I want to focus on. I want to focus on a woman doing what she wants and not feeling pressured by a man or society. It used to be pressure to stay home - now it's pressure to go out and bring in a paycheck. It is a fascinating dynamic to me (maybe cause I'm smack dab in the middle of it). And for the record my DH is very, very supportive cause like Hellie pointed out earlier - he doesn't want to give up his CEO! LOL I don’t have the choice, but if I did, I’d still choose to go to work. It’s just who I am. And my daughter deserves a mother who does what is right for her, not one who does what others think is right for her. It’s all about setting an example.

Just like mothers who stay home shouldn't feel like they contribute less because there's no paycheck showing up at the end of the week, working moms shouldn't feel like they are somehow slighting their kids because they aren't with them 24/7. I don't have the choice, but if I did, I'd still choose to go to work. It's just who I am. And my daughter deserves a mother who does what is right for her, not one who does what others think is right for her. It's all about setting an example. Either way, being present is what matters. And it's just as easy not to be present while being in the same room as not. :) Your kids sound like amazing human beings, and I know they have you to thank for that. But I'd like to think that's more because of who you are than the number of hours in the same room. LOL!

I knew I'd inadvertently offend someone. I totally didn't mean to. I have a special place in my heart for all single moms out there. I don't know how y'all do it. My best friend is a single mom, but she runs a daycare. Often times she gets babies at 6 weeks and keeps them until they start school. And it's not that I think she raises these kids, there is a partnership between her and the parents. I so didn't mean to step on your toes. hugs Darn it, darn it, darn it!

If you click on that, a drop down menu will pop up. Click on "recipe" and you'll get a couple hundred of them.
