Working Mothers Guilt

11 Feb 2017

Hey Folks

Well as you can see by the title I am still working - I am working 5 days a week.
We have bought a house, hubby has changed jobs.  The company hubby is working for head hunted him, and he is loving this role and the challenges that it is providing.

I have just found a post-it note that my daughter wrote to my hubby, it says that she wants him to be home during the holidays ( he had to go away) and me to be home all of the time so that we can be a whole family.  Now I feel more guilty than I normally do, as a SAHM I was looked down on by working mothers and by society now as a working mother I have experienced because I am a working mother the guilt that is associated with it.  Taking time off when the kids are sick, guilty because I am not being payed because I am not working and it is falling to my husband a and the guilt that I am not at work.

In my ideal world I would love to go back to being a SAHM, have the house decorated in a shabby chic/50's style, my daughter and myself dressed like they were in the 50's.  When did it become such a despised idea to be a housewife, look after the children and hubby go out to work?  Why do we feel the need to impress our friends by having the latest and greatest toys, big house.  As a society have we lost our innocence and values or has it come down to technology moved to fast to soon and now we are suffering for it?
Don't get me some advances in technology are great - I wouldn't be able to post this for the world to see this without it, and my children would be constantly ill without medical technology but the internet has a great deal to answer for.  So I pose this question to you all would we have been better without the advances in technology or better with it?
