Mothers are: Mothers.

I've been feeling pretty sensitive about people talking about homemakers and homemaking moms ever since last two weeks someone commented that i just "duduk rumah je lah".

I feel so terhina. The statement as if suggests that i am inactive. And last night someone commented about how good a support group is for "homemaking moms"... So i tried to tell her, no, info about parenting or whatsoever about mommy-hood is good for MOMS. No need to classify them into 'what type' of mom. Obviously homemaking moms are somewhat linked to inactivity. WHAT?!

I have SO many things to do, eventhough i don't generate any income but my "pay" is great and it makes no difference between me and a mom who works in an office - she gets payment in monetary form for her services in the office and she gets a PAY for her 24/7 job as a mother. Just as you are always a full time muslim, having to submit to islam and Allah in every single thing you do, being a mother (parent and spouse), obliges a person to be just as commited to the role.

Anyway...

I'm just pissed at the notion of inactivity or unfruitfulness or uselessness of being a homemaker. *gawd* what such horrible thinking!

There is so much to do and so much to learn!

What an awful perception of homemaking mothers our people have been conditioned to have!
