Married Women & 5 Reasons Why They Should Stay Home

Married women with young children should stay home because doing so benefits themselves and their families.

To make such statements may be shocking to all of the feminists out there who aspire to become every woman.

If you're one of the 99% in the female population who have loftier goals than that, keep reading.

With the economy practically in shambles, more women are working longer hours outside the home.

What’s new is the number of jobs many women are holding down in order to make ends meet. They have traded in developing a nurturing home for the rigors of an unforgiving rat race.

I believe women who are married with children make an enormous mistake by working outside the home – especially when the little ones are under the age of 5 or 6.

Married women who choose to stay home full time is no longer a stigma. The attitude that stay at home Mom's (or SAHM's) are more insignificant than ones who aren't is passe, to say the least.

They are no longer considered uneducated dolts whose only identity is being barefoot and pregnant.

Stay At Home Mom's Are Hip

Here are my top five reasons why SAHM's are so cool and why young mothers with families should take their cues from them:

Children have a stronger sense of stability when at least one parent is in the home continuously.
Some ladies are adept at working more than 40 hours per week while making the relationship with their spouse sizzle.
However, when children are added to this dynamic, mastering the art of family cohesiveness becomes even more important - and more difficult. Instead of pursuing blind ambition, why not create a stable, loving environment that will allow your children to thrive.
The expense of daycare is eliminated.
Plus, some daycare centers have been compared to holding cells that reek of infestation and overwhelmed providers.
Even if you can afford a nanny you trust, she doesn't take the place of a loving, nurturing parent who devotes their time and attention to each child in the home.
No disrespect to the daycare facilities that operate a clean, safe environment, but daycare is the worst place for a child at any age. I have heard of daycare facilities accepting children as young as a month old!
It's ridiculous for a married woman to subject her child to such neglect for the sake of an overtaxed salary. Stay home. Save your money and your peace of mind by caring for the little one yourself.

In your capable hands, you’ll know your children are safe.
They won't be subjected to overworked daycare providers or those who like to prey on children.
How many horror stories have we witnessed of children being beaten, molested, neglected, or abused by people who were charged with caring for them?
Sure you can buy a nanny-cam. But by the time you witness the abuse, the damage has been done. You'll save yourself and your child a world of hurt by caring for them yourself.

You may just discover the lost art form of spending quality time with your children and your spouse.
It's been said that family members only spend about 15 minutes per day interacting with each other. Families rarely have time to sit down to enjoy three meals together, let alone quality time.
Parents and children today are overworked and undernourished, creating an unhealthy group of people. By staying home for a few years, your family doesn't have to be another statistic.
Married women who "bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan" is a worn out fallacy. Encouraging women with families to become every woman is one of the biggest detriments to the break down of the family.

You'll avoid the dreaded rat race.
All of the drama of trying to juggle your career and your family by staying home will be eliminated for a time. Drama such as office politics and tension in the home because you're not there will become a thing of the past.
When you think about it, this is another fantastic way to save money in a sick economy. Concern about the cost of gasoline, daycare, car maintenance, insurance, and rush hour traffic will vanish.
Not to mention, money spent on office attire, makeup, shoes, and accessories (well, those last three aren't all that bad) will significantly decrease when you become a stay at home Mom.

Those are my reasons for married women with small children to postpone their careers for a few years.

You may not see it now but your family will reap significant benefits from your sacrifice. The rewards of molding well-rounded, intelligent children is well worth the effort.
