I am in school to be a teacher... there are millions and millions of women going to huge corporations every day and running a business all on her own with many many responsibilites. She is driving to work in a nice SUV, she has her hair perfect, she has nice expensive clothes, her nails are carefully manicured, and her make up has no flaw. She seems happy waiting at the light to turn green.
And in YOUR head you imagine her thoughts would go something like this: "Pick up dry cleaning, get Jr. from Soccer right after school, and little princess has ballet after soccer, and hubby needs hot love tonight, and the houskeeper needs paid. Oh, I must go cash that large check today for our Hampton vacation."
But in reality, her home life stinks, she hasnt went to the grocery store in months, they eat out in chaos nightly, the husband is unhappy, the kids are not attended to, the homework is never checked, the kids are never tucked in, they go off to bed wishing they lived next door with the mom that always has real cookies in her home. The dad is always on the phone, the mom is never emotionally available for anyone, including her husband. And yet.. in her SUV things look pretty good. We all know that #1 she is missing Christ. . .
But I want to know what has happened to the values taught to our children at home and at school? Why are mothers not taking the role of wife and homemaker? How did our lives get so busy that we dont have time to sit down for a meal we actually cooked ourself? I'm sick of this! I want to go back to the 1950's!

I'm reading this awesome book by James Dobson called "Bringing Up Boys". -I'll be blogging about it sometime.- and he addreses some of this stuff. It's a great book, very forthright and honest.
I agree, where are all the moms? Our society teaches women that they should be out there working and not "just" staying at home with the kids. But, we know better, don't we?
Blessings,
