I enjoyed your post. I think it is great in this day and age that we get so many mroe options than the women in past generations.

I don’t think it is right to tell someone she isn’t a feminist because she stays at home- for me, it is about having choices, and as long as you are happy and were able to make a choice, I think that is what is important.

I have 3 boys myself and had an interesting conversation with a mom who has some girls who are very independent. She asked, “Do you see any problems with girls getting more and more independent?” I said, “No, I just see it as my job to raise boys who can respect and appreciate that independence.”

Really, that is part of my job isn’t it? To raise and love these little boys, while I am a SAHM too, they see me learning and growing and being independent. I just want them to respect and honor the human race. I also hope they will grow to be men who want to marry strong women.

I have taught them since they were young that a women’s worth is SO much more than her looks. If you ask them, “What kind of girl should you marry?” They will reply something along the lines of, “One who is smart, kind, good with money.” My middle one once asked, “Is it ok if she is pretty?”
