I think the term 'Housewife' has now changed to 'stay at home Mum'! and I am one!

I wish I was able to live a life of lunches and hobbies! Unfortunately, the life I have and that of other stay at home Mums I know is far from as easy - most of the time it is mind numbingly dull, hugely stressful and extremely tedious. Why do we do it? For all sorts of reasons and reasons that no one should ever judge. You can never know anothers full story as to the choices they make, and providing their children are happy and healthy what does it matter if a Mum chooses to work or stay at home?

Housewifes or working Mums, House Fathers or Working Fathers we are all bloody fantastic, as bringing up children is THE hardest challenge a human being will ever face and to do a good job of it is an enormous achievement - IMHO!
