Stay at home woman...

Ive heard a lot about that now days with Hillary running for President and all. She's somehow became the idol of the womans movement, the problem is some of us woman dont want to move that way. I wish people would just leave us alone and stop generalizing us.

Im a stay at home woman, i havent always been at one time in my life i was the sole provider in my family, then went to a single working mom and now days im blessed with the ability to stay home and i love it. Some would like to paint me as a doormat, as someone incapable of providing for themselves, as someone who is powerless.  My husband would laugh his a** off if you suggested I was any of those things to him as would most people who really know me. Just as id laugh my a** off at anyone who suggested my husbands contribution to our family is little more then a banking account. 

Stay at home woman have it rough, not only do we have to put up with the sexist attitude from some men who still live in the stone-age we have to put up with sexist attitudes from our our very own gender. The only difference is those men think our place is at home and those woman see staying at home as a threat to the womans movement. Both are wrong and both are just as disgusting as the other.  My husband enjoys working outside the home just as much as i enjoy working within the home. If you look at a home like a business, you could say my husband provides the financial backing while i run the company. Both of us are equally important and equally needed. Both of us have equal voices in how our company runs and what assets we obtain.  Sometimes he wins in the boardroom and sometimes i win in the boardroom. Without one or the other our little company would fall apart.

People need to realize stay at home woman are not defined by a definition from the early 50's.  We are a diverse group of woman who have decided it makes us happier to stay at home.  Some of us are strong independent voices within our homes, some of us choose a more pacifist type of approach, some of us want to be soccer moms, some of us hate school functions with a passion, some of us enjoy cooking, others prefer ordering out, some want children, some dont.  Staying at home doesnt define us, its not who we are. Stay at home woman are no different then any career woman. We are fiercely protective of our rights to do what makes us happy. What you do or dont do doesnt make you equal. Equality isnt based on your way of life. Its based on how you are treated and how we see ourselves. We stay at home woman are equal so stop trying to take the equality away from us. Whether your a man who wants a wife bare-foot and pregnant or a woman who thinks they are well meaning and trying to help us. We dont need your help, we are exactly where we want to be and exactly what we want to be.  We made our choice and if thats not your choice, tough!
