how do i convince my husband
| Mon, 07-18-2005 - 4:09pm |
how do i convince my husband to let me at least job-share so i can take care of our 3 month old dd? he grew up with his mom working & all his friend's moms working. we can afford it if we cut back on some things, but he doesn't want to cut back & just doesn't understand someone wanting to be a stay at home mom...it doesn't help mycause that the grandmothers will babysit. i'm so unhappy about having to go back to work...he wants me to work full time 1 more year & just doesn't get it! i feel like my heart is being ripped from my chest every time i hink about it.

"I would again, say yes. We are a cultural society and have always been living in groups and not just family groups, where raising children was a group effort and not just an effort to be left up to mom and dad."

"It is sad and perverse that many who have worked to right the wrongs done to women, have also sought to relieve women’s burdens by devaluing their role as mothers and relieving them semi-permanently of their infants and young children. Child care advocates sometimes argue that the infants are being properly returned to group care with multiple carers, as in a tribe. But they ignore the fact that, uniquely in the history of our species, it is a group in a enclosed institution which does not include mother, relatives or anyone with a continuing bond or any enduring emotional commitment to that child. The consequent reduction in the possibilities for personal contact, mother-infant attunement, continuing secure attachments and tender loving care are, in practice, mostly ignored."

See post 939.
Or you can do what I suggested...Read a bit of history, visit some of the working history museums and talk to people....you will see that your life and all of our lives today are extremely easy because of modern technology."

Not when you put it in the proper perspective versus pulling it out of context...no.
