I didn't experience it but I feel like I really miss those days when a mom was a mom and a man was a man, when the gray areas were smaller. I often wonder what it would be like to live in the times when boys were raised to fully understand the importance of their future and girls to understand the importance of raising their offspring to a higher quality. I know that sounds sexist but in the age of video games and working moms (i.e. the 80's kids) where so many boys grow up learning the basics of games instead of the basics of manhood, and virtual relationships instead of actual relationships. How then is the stay at home mother supposed to explain to the aging gamer how vital it is to set a good example for their children, to put away the game controller and pick put a hammer and engage in some good old fashion wholesome male bonding? I know it's important to have fairness in the workplace but to what extent should we make that trade? Besides, have we really gone so far from the age of women being treated unfairly? We are still paid less, we are still treated as a liability as far as employers are concerned ( at least those of us who have kids) and especially now when an employer would never have to hire a mother and make schedule accommodations when they have so many other options. Employment options are inundated with men, college graduates, and women who choose not to have children. Where does that leave the modern mom? I feel like employers see me as unnecessary and yet my husband has been raised to feel like it is unfair unless Both parents are working. (the ugly side effect of women's fight to be equal in the work place) Can someone please invent a time machine for those of us who have chosen to be mothers?no offense to the working woman, but I'd like to go back to when motherhood was a respected trade. After all, raising children shouldn't be taken lightly, eventually they grow up become our future.
