The Battle

The battle of the "Moms".  The "working" Mom and the "stay at home" Mom.  Aren't they really both working Moms?  They are both working.  They may hold different job descriptions and provide different benefits, but they are both hard to balance.  Let's take a look at them:

Stay at Home:

• You may or may not be good at the job
• You may or may not be fit for the job
• Being the town taxi is stressful
• You can not pee alone as there is always an audience.
• Your day rarely goes as planned, the support staff make sure of that
• Breaks and lunches are hit and miss
• Your job duties include "all other duties assigned".....by a minor
• Underpaid
• Appreciation is hit and miss
• Your social life often seems like Toddler World 24/7

Working:

• You may or may not be good at the job
• You may or may not be fit for the job
• Commuting is stressful
• You can not pee alone, unless you happen to go when no one else in the entire building does not
• Your day rarely goes as planned
• Breaks and lunches are hit and miss
• Your job duties include "all other duties assigned".....by someone that acts like a child.
• Underpaid
• Appreciation is hit and miss
• Your social life often seems like High School Drama 24/7

Wow, so far I am torn.  Let's face it, being a Mom is hard.  No matter what your schedule looks like at the end of the day, a Mom is a Mom.  It is what you do with your "Mom" time that makes you a Mother.  So many people take for granted the awesomeness of being a Mother.  I am thankful everyday to have healthy and happy children. Whether you have all day with them or a few hours a day with them.  Be thankful you are WITH them.
