During our work...I agree with you on so any levels. During our working lives my wife worked for a while, and then she stayed home with the kids. She loves kids and she wanted to be with them. She chose to be a mom, and she loved it more than anything else in this whole world. She did it well, and she was the hardest working person I ever knew. Now that we're older, she goes all out to do whatever she can for the grand children. And her love and hard work continues to touch their lives. <br />Now <br />I don't have anything against those who want to spend their days working in their so-called called careers. That's their choice. But I do have a big problem with those who deride others for pursing their choices. Where on earth would we all be without mothers and fathers? <em>The answer is surely too horrific to even contemplate.</em><br /><br />It's just my two cents. <br /><br />Happy trails.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-2605727655922250532012-04-13T12:36:25.207-07:002012-04-13T12:36:25.207-07:00And speaking of mothers - mine is ace.And speaking of mothers - mine is ace.blackwatertownhttp://www.blackwatertown.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-24503100968996339342012-04-13T12:35:26.193-07:002012-04-13T12:35:26.193-07:00I doubt that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama ar...I doubt that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama are as ignorant of what being a mother is about as those quotes suggest. The daughters of both mothers seem to be turning out fine.<br />Some people do well mixing work at home and work outside the home - others concentrate on one or the other - both approaches can work well and give good example. It just depends on the person. Without knowing the details of their family lives it's hard to judge, but both the mothers you mention, while no doubt not perfect, apeear to have set good examples.<br />As for Hilary Rosen's comments - not so sure.blackwatertownhttp://www.blackwatertown.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-78970932654001393312012-04-13T08:33:13.962-07:002012-04-13T08:33:13.962-07:00Shackman, I did think at first that Rosen must sur...Shackman, I did think at first that Rosen must surely know what it takes to raise a child. But when I did a search on her to find the quote, I ran across a bio that says she is a lesbian. It's highly possible she hasn't had children. But even her comment wasn't as offensive to me as Hillary Clinton's!Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-64504498658420010812012-04-13T07:21:00.555-07:002012-04-13T07:21:00.555-07:00I totally agree.

After Ranjan was born, she dabbled with her career on and off but decided finally to give up her career to run our home. None of the three of us ever regretted the decision and we had a very fulfilling home and family life till she died three years ago. Her contribution to the successes of her husband and son was a critical factor in our stability today.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-21032595885752368442012-04-13T06:55:21.876-07:002012-04-13T06:55:21.876-07:00Well said to both of you.

Mind you I went without all the latest equipment and large screen TVs etc. To date I still have no dishwasher or tumble dryer. I don't miss what I never had. I cooked all meals from scratch and baked for home, a church and many charity events.<br /><br />In my book being a parent is the most precious gift we can give and time lost outside the home can never be recaptured.Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
