Just venting.....

In some ways I understand a feminist view of a woman's role however, I do not believe women can be better than men and vice a verse since each situation is different. Some roles are meant for men and others are for women. and in my marriage we share responsibilities equally.

I am discussing the topic of the typical housewife that stays home and take care of kids and the career women. My husband and I have had many discussions about the role of the women and yes we both agree that a child needs their mother when they are babies however, really once they start school around the age of 5 the mother is not needed as much. I feel it is important for children to socialize with other children their age.By experience I have notice a great deal of improvement with my daughter going to school and interacting and learning from other children than when she was isolated.

Each situation is different concerning whether to be a SAHM or a career women however this is what I am venting about that gives women in general a bad name. This is about the women who does nothing but go to little social events (shopping, eating out, ect.) and complain that their lives are so difficult. Oh and to top it off from listening to their husbands they don't even upkeep the home because they are too busy with their social events and expect their husband to take care of things when they get home from work. I can not even comprehend how their lives are difficult unless your child is special needs there should not be any excuses. I have managed to work, be a mother, go to school full time, take care of a child that needed medical attention and it makes me mad to be somewhat compared or being told by these mothers that they have a hard life.

Another pet peeve of mine is when people think they know it all and really have not a clue. For example, as ridicules as this sounds I have heard people read books and cite what they read, it could and in most cases be inapplicable to what they directed the citation to and some people who don't know any better think the person is a genius because they are able to cite from a book by memory. Oh and my favorite is the media told me so or I read it online so it must be true! Come on people you do not necessarily need a college degree to be educated but you need to back up your sources to even make it a slight bit true and memorizing books does not classify that person as a genius.

I just had to vent and get a few things off my chest because I don't think my tongue can take any more biting.
