March 18th-22nd Working Mothers



  A mothers role is supposed to be a homemaker. I do not necessarily agree with that. But they say in many cases it is better for the family to barley be scraping by on the fathers salary than for both parents to go to work. There is a negative effect on the children when a mother goes to work. The kids are usually left home with older siblings, a daycare, or a friends house and this can result in the child becoming violent and learning from other instead of their parents. But I do not see it like this in my perspective. I definitely believe that the mothers most important job is to be the mother and make sure the children are taken care of. But coming from a family where my mom worked I guess I look at this situation a little differently. If the mother can go to work with it not being in the way of her taking care of the children then I do not see a problem with it at all. If the kids have to go to a friends house every now and then, the kids wont complain, they want to play with friends! Or if they have to stay with the older siblings, I think that is also a good thing too because you are going to learn things from your siblings that you wont learn from your mom. I love my mom and my stepmom, and respect them so much for working and help supporting our family. Because without them I do not know what our family would have done. It taught me how to work for what I need and want.
