I cannot believe the comments that are being made. Most of the women are helping others take a huge step backward in women's rights. I am a mother of a 6 month old but that is not all I am. I am also a wife, daughter, sister, friend and a probation officer. I feel that it is necessary not only for me to have interaction with other adults but for my daughter to interact with other children. She is in daycare 4 days a week while both her father and I work. I enjoy my job and can't wait to get home to see my daughter. I think that makes our relationship even stronger. The show is in no way disgusting and these woman are in no way selfish. They are showing their children how strong, smart and confident they are. They deserve the right to do something that makes them feel good about themselves.
I agree with you one hundred percent! I am much more than "my son's mom" or "my husband's wife"! Please! I was an awesome, wonderfully talented person before I met my husband and before I had a child. Why should I stop being who I am? I mean, if we're going to ask that of women maybe we should start asking that of men!? Let's see how well that goes over... You are a wonderful lawyer who assists people in need on a daily basis; however, now you must stop doing that to wipe bottoms. Sure... that would work! I would never want to make anyone feel bad for the choices they make. Why do others not feel the same way?
Like both of you I work as well. I work a full time job, go to school and take care of my children. I would not ever dream of giving up my own career, because previous and current times have shown, men dont give a damn when they are done with us, they are done. Think about how many women you know who got left with nothing,no money, no place to live and all but begging the soon to be ex to do what he is supposed to do and pay child support. Its a new age, women need to step up if we want to be considered equal. I know a woman right now who knows her man is cheating on her but what can she do. She has no career,no stable job history, if she rocks the boat she is SOL. I cant imagine being held under seige by someone who claims they love me. I have two boys, no girls but if I did have a little girl, I would be instilling INDEPENENCE, not CO DEPENDENCE.
I agree with you all - women are much more than someone's mom. My son is being raised by a 'single mother' who is raising him to believe he can do anything. I taught him to throw a baseball, mow the lawn, fix the roof, etc. 'Boy stuff' but he also knows how to cook and do laundry "Girl Stuff' and he need to get out of the 'boy/girl' stuff thinking. I work because I have to - I also like my job. He knows I need 'Mom' time just like he wants time with his friends. I didn't stop being me just because I had my son.
