I understand all too well the pressures placed upon women, whether they work outside the home or not. The advice I gave my daughter was this: Never expect to rely on a man or husband to support you, for the simple reason that stuff happens: divorce, illness, death of a spouse, job loss- you name it. A young woman does herself a huge favor by thinking ahead and planning for herself. This may mean getting a degree or some kind of job training that will serve you well should the unthinkable happen. You also want to consider the day when you will need the resources to support yourself in your senior years. BTW- being a stay-at-home mom is a temporary job. Kids grow up and leave home.

Being a sahm is probably the hardest most rewarding job on the planet!!!!!But think about this... out of 19 children not a single one of them has had any desire to go to college and do something with their life other than having as many children as god blesses them with. None of the Duggar children have been given the choice or opportunity to Persue their own unique dreams and be allowed to use their talents for employment outside the home. All the boys work for their father selling cars, flipping houses, real estate, car towing and construction. One is a pilot. He flies his family where they want to go but he is not employed as a pilot or even a police officer. He is a costable. All of the girls I mean ALL of them only dream about getting married and having children. Out of 9 girls, you are telling me All of them want the same thing??? Don’t get me wrong, bring a mother IS a full time job, running a home is a full time job!! But it appears none of these children want anything but to be a mom? Didn’t jinger want to be a photographer and move to a big city? Didn’t Joy want to get her pilots liscence? Didn’t Jill want to become a nurse? But these girls were stunted to a degree because they were never allowed to explore any other options.....

Even the unmarried girls are stay-at-home girls. There's the problem. See a pattern that will not break? Why do you think that is? Do you think it's right to put such expectations on all your daughters? Most parents I know encourage their children, male and female, to be all they can be, to get higher education, to have careers. That doesn't mean you can't have babies, too, it means you should not hold your daughters back by telling them from an early age that their highest calling is motherhood and that's all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-1055455645935755112018-08-27T10:52:33.296-05:002018-08-27T10:52:33.296-05:00I can see how Jinger would enjoy using something l...I can see how Jinger would enjoy using something like darts as an outlet for competition and achievement, since she's not been able to compete or achieve herself in the world through academics, sport, or professionally.

To those of us that have chosen to stay at home for our family's we do not all feel that we have given anything up. I feel sorry for women that don't have the choice to stay home. I don't want anyone else raising my kids. And why does her growth have to be stunted because she stays home. Some people value very different things. I value the opportunity to be available at all times for my family's needs. Not just my husband and kids. My extended family as well. The sacrifice is well worth it.

In what way does this stunt a woman's potential? Did it ever occur to you that some women actually find great satisfaction and joy in raising families? Some of us are the most fulfilled and happy being at home and would rather not be out in the work place or go to a university. I am a wife and mother of 7 children, half of which are now grown to adulthood. Never once have I regretted my role choice and am very blessed to have been there to help mold and guide my children to becoming the amazing people they are today. Stop belittling our choice to raise a family and start showing respect for the enormous undertaking that a stay at home mom takes on!
