Okay, every mother goes through a phase of guilt because she has to work a 9-5, 40 hour per week job. Stop the guilt! Snap out of it!
Come on moms, we are in the 21st century! Not in the 1800's, where women didn't have the same rights as men do. Do we want our girls growing up to be strong women, or women who have to depend on someone else to take care of them? The world is only getting worse which means people are getting worse and we need to raise our girls to be strong women in this deteriorating world.
Statistics show that if you don't go to college and get a good career then most likely your kids will follow in your footsteps. We as mothers need to set a good example for our daughters, not that staying home is the wrong example but no one feels guilty for being a stay at home mother as they do working full time.
If you feel it is in your best interest to be a stay at home mother, and you can afford it, go for it! There is no right or wrong, do what you feel is best and don't feel guilty for which ever decision you decide. Even stay at home mother's can teach their daughter's to be strong independent women by volunteering or doing part time small jobs, to make some extra spending cash. Which ever decision you choose, do it with certainty and make sure to set the example of what you would like your daughters to follow.
