The worlds unfair. Yes it is. Lets look at it this way. Staying at home is considered an occupation not many would willingly consider because the following reasons: 24 hour work (especially right after birth of children)
No leave
No medical coverage
No insurance coverage
No salary
No big job title
Mentally and Physically challenging (someone please tell me I am wrong on this one)
Employers always fighting among each other and youre always the arbitrator
No Life
And most of all.No appreciation and definitely no PROMOTION And yet, you wont find another person who does so much for so little willingly and with a smile on her lips. SAHM could be scrubbing dirty linen while exchanging jokes with kids. SAHM would also forego sleep if employers have nightmares or problem sleeping. Even though the SAHM is grouchy, she will do her best to ensure that her mood does not affect the employers. SAHM will sacrifice her own food for the sake of the employers without making a single sound. The most amazing thing about SAHM is that they often have to do multiple things at the same time and deliver accordingly. For instance, ever tried calming an angry child while cutting onions? Or perhaps paying the milk delivery boy while breastfeeding a baby? How about changing a diaper while reading a magazine? Thats why God decided to give women this amazing ability to multitask. Now, with all that said, doesnt it seem clearer now why I would hire a SAHM at the drop of a hat? Imagine the things that she can do for me! And yet, SAHM have no recognition and are considered to be second-class citizens in some countries. They are regarded so because they do not contribute FINANCIALLY to the familys expenses. But so what? So what, I ask you? Herelets consider this. Consider the following two instances very carefully. Number one, put a SAHM in a CEO chair and let her run the company for a daycompletely on her own. Number two, take the CEO out of the chair and place her in a home with 3 screaming kids for one working day. Guess wholl make it and who wont. No prizes for guessing but my guess is that the SAHM will probably be able to find her way around to survive the day and not mess up the company while the CEO will be done before the day is over. And that is why the value of a SAHM is priceless and the CEO or corporate rat-racer is priced. Give me a choice and Id pick the SAHM any time of the day. |
