I wholeheartedly believe that a happy mom is key to a happy baby. :)Swapnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000944435298483333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659845884563292718.post-8186719373459931302012-07-06T21:00:03.555+05:302012-07-06T21:00:03.555+05:30Lovely...

And if they do, can't blame them, coz many of us think we have to become a 'Housewife' when we have babies. We've spent as much on our education as men have, we have put in equal amount of hardwork (if not more) then why us? Aren't we capable enough to decide?<br /><br />And why do women who choose to become housewives say they have sacrificed. I mean get a life. take a decision and stick to itMy Zoe's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217863579007353972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659845884563292718.post-57401697095447393452012-07-04T19:10:15.923+05:302012-07-04T19:10:15.923+05:30i agree with u. also why do we always think of mom...i agree with u. also why do we always think of moms working or not working after having children, chilcare is and should be equally the job of a father. with joint parenting women will not have to either feel guilty when they go out to work or 'sacrifice' their careers for their babies. as u knw i have been thinking of joining work myself. I went for a meeting today for some research work. the person who was taking my interview was a woman and was positive abt my choice of working and respected that i opted to work part time. later she introduced me to one of her subordinates, a woman too, and she mentioned that i have a 8 m old baby. the new woman looked at me in disbelief and didnt think twice before exclaiming..."then u must stay at home!" "i have been staying at home" i said, "now i am tired of it and since my baby is older i want to get engaged with something other than childcare." her jaw dropped and she kept of staring at me in disbelief for a while! for the rest of the meeting i ignored her and she wholeheartedly gave me judgmental stares!! as i drove back home i cldnt stop laughing! she represented such a conservative and nauseating school of tght i wondered wat she was doing in a Women's studies centre!benuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808200385642875484noreply@blogger.com
