Everything changed when my mom was forced to work.

🫂 My ability to work and earn a high wage has always been highly restricted by having kids, but it's worth it. You can work, later. You cannot mother your kids, later.

Your greatest investment is your kids

I agree. But do you say the same thing about career dads?

Absolutely not.

Why? What is the difference when taking care for your family?

Not the words I would've chosen, but I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment.

Operator I would like to report a murder!!

Exactly. I'd stay with my kids no matter what, but the Mom who was always there for her kids will find her kids at her deathbed. The Mom that didn't have time for her kids will find that her kids don't have time to visit her on her deathbed.

🫂 Lol I think you need to just go home and relax. But, seriously you're right. Making a woman be a stay-at-home mom will only increase the likelihood of her becoming resentful of her kids.

So no point looking forward to my kids being at my deathbed. Got it.

I feel sorry for anyone who is so depraved that they are resentful for spending time with their own offspring.

He has a penis.

Well, theoretically, at least. I haven't checked in every particular instance or measured, or whatever.

What does that have to do with the price of rice in China?

I've met some VERY selfish parents who act that way! They just constantly want their kids out of their hair 24/7. It's even worse when those kids enter their teenage years and you witness how spoiled they've become.

Well, there's more than one way to be a bad parent.

Maybe you don’t have a teenager yet.

🤣🫡

Mothers and fathers are physiologically different and their responsibilities lie, therefore, under different focus. Even if they are capable of subsistuting each other.

I have an 17 year-old and a 19 year-old. And I like them.

I resent anyone who question my mothering ability 😳

That's okay. Wait until you find out how much I question your sanity.

It’s sort of a given that I am mad. But how insane must I be to accept society’s definition of my role.

I can respect that.

Lol... did I take your original post out of context?

There are plenty

Perhaps.

Your mom sounds awesome. My mom would generally stop what she was doing to stay home if we were sick, or injured. She took care of us in that regard. Our childhoods were turbulent. Neither me nor my sibling was easy to handle. I could tell she did her best, but she was always wanting the finer things in life. A shopoholic and a black belt in passive aggressiveness. A manipulator and always wanted to have things in control done her way. Both my parents had a talent for making us feel like we were never good enough. Expected too much from us and when things got too much to handle. They threw us to the therapists and shoved psych pills down our throats. Being in the medical field really fucked our minds up more than anything. So many medications for illnesses we never had when all we needed was someone to understand us. Many of them did permanent damage to our bodies and were recalled over the years too. Also discovering recently that she was a master liar was a lot harder on me and severely damaged our relationship. Now knowing that there are a lot of family secrets and manipulation that I will never know the truth of. Is heavy on my heart.

My bad. It's very interesting reading through this thread, though. It's always fascinating to hear about everyone's unique experiences with parenting. My mom was never a career mom in the context you meant. She just worked some part-time job at a local food store while my dad brought home 98% of all the bacon. Still, she only worked for like 10 or 12 hours a week, sometimes less, while the rest of her time was spent caring for my sister and I. So, I guess you could say that she was a "career mom"😅. Also, as someone who grew up with a workaholic dad, I have to say that career dads can be just as bad. Believe me, i did not like being a "substitute father" after my sister was born.

But the most important thing is to stack fiat and be “successful”… Of course the dad could also show the fuck up.

Working alone doesn't make you a career woman. It's a mindest. Guess I'm translating from the German "Karrierefrau".

I wasn't trying to say that it does. That's true. Ngl, at times, it can be kind of difficult for me to tell if your being sarcastic or are legit annoyed in your posts😅🫡. Lol🫣I initially thought your original post was just a sarcastic rant about being stuck at home too often.

One salary is usually not enough anymore
