I caught myself doing it again. Friends and relatives have given their little comments about me being staying home with my girls. Some think that I should be out working outside the home and put my girls in daycare. That has made me a little defensive.
Whenever someone asks about how I am doing, the defensive claws come out. I am prepared to do battle. Sometimes these innocent, unsuspecting ,people are just trying to just make a little small talk and just find out how life really is going.
But I am ready to defend;ready to do the battle in the Mommy Wars, where no one wins. I know I certainly come back feeling defeated; why should I have to constantly feel as though I have to justify staying home with my children. Why should another mom have to feel she has to justify going to work?
