Who Cares What your Occupation Is, really!

Does it really matter what one chooses for an occupation or what they choose to do as a parent? I mean seriously people. I live my life in such a way that I choose not to judge another parents decision, although inside of my own head I may cringe at the idea of elementary students on Facebook or young children raising younger siblings, but that is just my own internal thoughts. I would never lash out, place judgement or verbal/emotionally abuse another parent regarding their decisions. Take a moment to listen to my thoughts regarding the topic of SAHM’s, WAHM’s and work outside of the home Moms… {oh yeah and check out the Queen of the House Mom hat my daughter made me that I wore in the video – LOL}

I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic, do you agree that we should just all respect each other as parents and realize that we all do our best to raise the kids we have? Every parent is different, we raise our children to the best of our capabilities and we make family decisions based on what works for us inside of our own homes so can we all just leave well enough alone?

   Amen to that! I would say, as a work at home dad with a busy wife that it is hard but most people just say things brcause they are not able to do it all. If they did it all, were better, and had a better life, it would speak for itself. Same as those that think working moms neglect their kids. They’re just frustrated, they don’t mean it. If its not related to their own disappointment, they have issues other than what they are venting about. Misdirected frustration is what most of these petty arguments are started with. Not tackling the real issue eats people up inside. It does hurt, especially when people don’t bother to ask more about you and are perhaps adding to the hurt you already feel over a disabled child who is hard to take care of, your own physical problem you would rather not have to talk about with every person. People should just care enough to look into things. It’s very immature. At what point to people grow up past the playground mentality or thinking they worked harder than the next kid who probably got up early and worked on the farm. But those kids never complained. Kinda tells you something. Love what you do and press on to be an influence for others. People that don’t want success and would rather be lazy point the finger and call others lazy. And success, is not a dollar amount. It is about being there for your kids, going the extra mile to make sure you take care of your marriage, as well as finding ways to provide. Some of this stuff is probably more personal and out of my capacity to understand, but that’s how I see it.
