The article highlights the challenges faced by stay-at-home moms as they navigate societal expectations about returning to work once their children go to school. One mother, Paige Jordan, expresses frustration about the unrealistic assumption that mothers can seamlessly transition back into the workforce. She points out the many disruptions that can occur, such as illnesses and school closures, making it difficult for parents to maintain a full-time job. The article reflects a common sentiment among mothers that the current systems are not supportive of their unique challenges, sparking solidarity within their community.
Because last Thursday and Friday, I had one home sick. Monday, we had Martin Luther King Day, they were out. Went today. Snow day tomorrow - just got a call. Dangerously cold temperatures, snow day. I am not saying that kids should be walking in negative four-degree weather, of course not. My point is, is that this system is not set up for this.
This is a joke ... are we supposed to use five sick days or personal days to do this? If you don't have family that can help, this is crazy.
