What's This Blog About?

I was reading through what was at first an infuriating article The Real Reason Why Your Wife Doesn't Want To Work. Now, one may say that article should infuriate someone like me, because I've worked full time my entire marriage. True, I worked to help support my family, not to chase rainbows or find "fulfillment" or any of that feminist garbage. I grew up old fashioned and it did irk me that some feminist would refer to our fore-mothers and those who stay at home to raise their kids as leeches or childlike.

I was feeling like it was another one of those mommy wars articles. Damned if you do and Damned if you don't. Some people will bash a mom for working saying she doesn't care about her family. If she doesn't work, she is a lazy leech. So much for women's rights. My personal feelings are do what's right for your family and forget what anyone else thinks. Seriously, no matter what you do, its wrong.

I really didn't get the context of the article until I read the comments of Tom G and actually read the story of his failed marriage and then divorce. I never realized how many SAHMs that exist that really are leeches and a detriment. Not saying all are, or hell not even most are.

However, his comments made for an interesting read and I think he should write a novel about his experiences.
