So here I am, my whole life I only wanted to become a mother and take care of my family. College was never an option in my mind, I guess i was old fashioned in a sense...i believe the man provided and we took care of the children and cooked and cleaned, I was ready to take that role on. Four years later here I am, I love my children and my life but no one ever prepared me for what life had in store. Gas prices soared, prices in general for regular merchandise would rise...bills would pile and I would bring little to no income in. I never understood why some women choose to work if the money wasnt needed, maybe it was because we liked interaction or the break from the kids..everyone has their reasoning i suppose. But what about when you get into a situation where its looking like you might need to work...how fair is it to your children? Right now im in the process of finding little jobs here and there from home. I have gone down the dreaded survey road and all i got was a big D for dumb stamp on my head and a friggin mailbox full of spam, i should have known better! I guess at points i find myself desperate, thinking i might withdrawl my old fashioned ways of thinking and get a part time job, but none of my kids are in school yet and I cant bear to put them into childcare when i feel its my obligation to raise them and noone eleses. Then there is also the oversight of looking into friends lives. They work but they also have to pay for gas and the childcare and they bring very little home and some even dispute the money they make saying its nowhere comparable to having their children home with them, but they continue to repeat this cycle. So once again im left in deep thought...what to do what to do. Please if you have any input feel free to comment me on this headline, i know this weighs heavily on alot of womens minds!
