Do stay-at -home moms get the recognition they deserve?

My guess is they probably do not. Career women as well as men probably under-value stay-at- home parents. This is especially true if the "stay at home parent" is a man!

More often than not he is seen as a "slacker". All of a sudden the "hardest job in the world" according to many is considered being lazy when it's a man. Just another one of those "double standards".LOL.

Absolutely not. People assume that because you stay at home you must be lazy, and sit in front of the TV all day, drinking soda, eating chips, and yelling at your kids. Not true.

Many Stay at home moms, are work at home moms, and even if they aren't i'll tell you they certainly aren't sitting on the couch all day long, watching the kids destroy the world around them. We all have down days, when yes, we love to sit on the couch and watch TV, drink a pop and eat some chips. But trust me, we are still getting the dishes done, or a load of laundry going.

Being a stay at home mom myself. It's not easy, it's probably the hardest job there is. And we don't get near enough credit for it.

Probably shaping the citizens of the future is the most important job out there.

No not at all. It's one of the hardest jobs I've ever done and also the most rewarding too I'd like to add! When we decide to stay at home and take responsibility for our young childrens up bringing and development, it's like taking on a 24 hour a day job.It can be mind blowingly testing and thoroughly rewarding trying to juggle household chores and keeping children stimulated.

It's not until you do it for yourself that you can really appreciate how hard it is. I know I didn't.

No they don't. To stay at home running a household can be more work than a 40 hr week in the work place. Cooking, cleaning, appointments, etc.Takes up time and can be very stressful.

The sad thing is that most spouses and children don't even know just how hard moms really work.

Nope...people often don't think they do anything. Home-school stay at home moms are the ones that are really amazing though! They put some much time and effort into the education aspect.

And mom's who have little kids have to put up with soo much work as well!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
