Why every mother should be stay-at-home...

One word: STRESS.

It's that simple. Women who raise children have enough built in stressors in their lives without the totally unnecessary addition of work-related stress. Men should worry about work and women should worry about kids. After all, "it's the way G-d intended." Adam was cursed to bear the burden of toiling the land, and Chava was cursed to bear the burden of childbirth. This distribution of punishment is really practical because these responsibilities are mutually exclusive*. Feminism be damned, I'm admitting out loud that it's impossible to juggle home and work. I can't do it any longer! I don't want to. The irony of it is that I don't have to work and I do it only because I supposedly want to be a productive and independent person. What a farce. How did I ever let myself be convinced of such a stupidity. It turns out that I just like to make myself miserable!

So I keep going back to work and I keep complaining about it and my family keep suffering and the laundry keeps getting ignored and yet I'm proud of what I do at work while I also hate every minute I spend at it... I guess that's the cycle of my life. Wait, did I hear someone say "paradigm shift"?
