But then the scoring section made it all better. There seems to be a serious movement towards stopping these mommy wars. It's a good thing.<br /><br />Visiting your from Saturday Sharefest!Jennifer Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543609958581052245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491909910606021427.post-90047296761048106452012-04-27T16:11:48.001-04:002012-04-27T16:11:48.001-04:00Thanks Anna!

What I do know is that staying at home isn't without guilt, and guilt is often where the judgment comes from. Could I give my kid music lessons or a better school if I went back to work? I certainly couldn't have spent our "quality time" afternoon yelling if I hadn't been home, and why don't those nannies at the park ever look flustered? And am I raising sons who believe that women's work is only in the home? It's endless. The mommy wars might look like they are moms judging each other, but my bet is that most of us are really judging ourselves.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491909910606021427.post-20015643181968332802012-04-25T13:44:33.209-04:002012-04-25T13:44:33.209-04:00Great post! :-)Great post! :-)momnextdoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360061081170849593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491909910606021427.post-86916019314623177822012-04-24T09:08:29.006-04:002012-04-24T09:08:29.006-04:00Very cute article!

I love how kids only speaking English gets +5 - I agree, as a teacher it hard to tell if some kids hear actual English at home or not...("I don't go no"... you get the idea - lol!)
