I know this is aimed at Lisa and in the context that she is not working full time but is anyone else tired of the narrative that working mothers are not raising their kids? Raising kids also means putting a roof over their heads, food on the table and clothes on their backs. Sadly we can’t all get away with living with the parents all our lives and having no bills so some of us have to work. Also, some of us have careers we’ve spent years studying for and working towards and can’t give it up to raise the kids because it would be virtually impossible to comeback to it at the same level 5 years or so down the road, in the private sector anyway in my experience. Also it’s good for children to see their parents working. It’s a fact that children who grew up in a household where their parents worked are statistically more like to work themselves and not end up long term unemployed as adults. It’s hard enough juggling a full time busy job and being a parent and knowing that you are missing out on time with your child without the judgyness of society too. You just can’t win.The stress of it alone would have a person strung out regardless of the germs (if I had options like she does I'd have waited until May/June.... actually.... I'd probably keep them at home because I want to raise my kids myself)

Couldn’t agree more. If every woman who was a mother gave up their job to ‘raise their kids themselves’, society would collapse. I can raise my kids AND contribute to my household and society and I don’t feel a bit guilty for it either.I know this is aimed at Lisa and in the context that she is not working full time but is anyone else tired of the narrative that working mothers are not raising their kids?

I actually feel the opposite. There’s an expectation for women to work now and raising your kids at home isn’t seen as equal to those to work outside the home. My friend chose to stay at home with her kids and years later, she’s constantly being asked when she’s returning to work. Both are valid in their own right. Neither is an easy route. At the end of the day, giving our kids a safe and loving home is what matters most regardless of family dynamics or who works where.I know this is aimed at Lisa and in the context that she is not working full time but is anyone else tired of the narrative that working mothers are not raising their kids?

But working mothers are also raising their kids. There’s parents who work and parents who don’t. For whatever reason, can afford not to, dont want to, whatever. But we’re all still raising our kids.I actually feel the opposite. There’s an expectation for women to work now and raising your kids at home isn’t seen as equal to those to work outside the home.

Mmm.. I wouldn’t exactly say “there’s parents who work and parents who don’t”. I see both options as working. And both equally as important just different choices (or unfortunately sometimes outside of our control). I work outside the home also and of course we are raising our kids. We’re all just doing our best.But working mothers are also raising their kids. There’s parents who work and parents who don’t. For whatever reason, can afford not to, dont want to, whatever.

I think it’s pretty clear by work it’s work outside the home is what’s meant.Mmm.. I wouldn’t exactly say “there’s parents who work and parents who don’t”. I see both options as working.

Some parents parent.
