So I was watching Oprah yesterday while making dinner and it had couples on there trying to get through financial distress. There was a mom on there who had a three year old little girl. She used to be a high executive i guess and was make six figures a year and then got laid off. She was complaining on national television how all she does is cook and clean and do laundry, and before she had a housemaid do all of this stuff. She told the audience that it would be easier to just go back to her job than stay home with her ONE child! It just made me sad that she didn't even value the fact that she was at home with her child watching her experience life and raising her to be a good human being with morals and values. The therapist on the show tried to tell her how important it was to be with her child and all she had to say was, "well, I gotta hand it to stay at home moms, but it is just hard when you don't want to be and you have to." So to all the mom's out there I guess you could say that you are worth more than a six figure income, because making that kind of money would be easier. Motherhood is the hardest job I have ever had, but i wouldn't give it up for the all the money in the world!

I watched a part of this yesterday too! The lady was so out of touch, and said "stay at home mom" like it was the worst thing ever, and even Oprah commented on the way she said it. Maybe now she'll get a clue to how important and valuable it is to be a more central part of her kid's life.
It would be worth even more if you were pregnant and doing that stuff!!!
Oh what a crazy world we live in!!! Just today i saw Dr. Laura getting ripped apart on the Mike&Juliet show Because she has a new book about praising stay at home mom's. Anything that strengthens families is Under Attack! It is so sad. Those poor kids.
Isn't 100,000 a year what I pay you??
I love it it is so true actually you can't put a price on the fallue af a mom
