I think most moms, like you and as I pointed out in my post, would have preferred to stay at home with their kids. Unfortunately, most of us did not and do not have that choice and had to enter the workforce.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-76419069604473582542012-04-16T20:02:21.355-05:002012-04-16T20:02:21.355-05:00I was a mom and full time worker.

I don't understand who do they think comes in and does that laundry and cooks the meals while you're at work? Sorry to all the stay home moms but we did what you do and still held down full time jobs. Ann Romney probably had maids and nannies. I just can't wrap my mind around how she thinks that compares to a single mom. Living from paycheck to paycheck! And here is the kicker... She will draw social security though she never contributed. Now that is wrong!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-67383857394802607132012-04-16T17:17:24.556-05:002012-04-16T17:17:24.556-05:00Correction: I should have said "Women should ...Correction: I should have said "Women should not allow themselves to be divided by politicians, as we all - regardless of our stations in life - have common cause." Of course, cynical politicians will always seek to divide us. It's what they do.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-77399594630585910402012-04-16T16:28:07.446-05:002012-04-16T16:28:07.446-05:00I was and am the "CEO" of my family as w...I was and am the "CEO" of my family as well, while working full-time outside the home, as are (and do) so many women in this country and around the world. It's the equivalent of two full-time jobs, even if one of them is unpaid except in emotional coin. Women, both those with two or more jobs and those who only work in the home, should not be pitted against each other by cynical politicians. We do have common cause.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-43250010213865851792012-04-16T16:07:28.118-05:002012-04-16T16:07:28.118-05:00Servants or not,she was and is the CEO of her fami...Servants or not,she was and is the CEO of her family as her husband was/is an executive and most of those types leave everything pertaining to house, home and family to the wifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
