Being a stay-at-home mom can also be the most exciting career

Through the omnipotent Internet, I got in touch with a friend I had lost contact with for ten years. Talking about their respective lives after the breakup, my friend said a little embarrassedly: \”Sister, don\’t look down on me after I told you. I have only been working for a few years and have been taking care of my children at home. I can\’t compare with you office workers, so I I’m too embarrassed to contact you old friends…” I can understand my friend’s mood, because I have also had the experience of being a full-time mother for a short time. As a full-time mother, there are hardships and joys, and the journey of thinking is endless. If you have not experienced it yourself, you will never understand it. At first, because I didn’t have to go to work every day and had a lot of free time, without the pressure of work or the hard work of running around, I felt very excited. When I met an acquaintance, I announced: I quit my job and am now a full-time mother! However, after a while, the novelty wore off. Every day, after my children go to school, I wander alone in an empty room, so quiet that I can only hear my own breathing. It feels so desolate, as if I have been abandoned by the whole world, helpless. If someone asked, I would be embarrassed to say that I am a stay-at-home mother. I feel out of place and out of touch with society. Emptiness, fear, and helplessness were the most realistic psychological portrayals at that time, and they could not be told to others, nor could they be understood by others. One day, I was walking around the house aimlessly, and suddenly I felt that I was no different from a walking zombie. At that moment, I was scared inside. I realized that I had to find something to enrich myself and let the sunshine shine into my heart again. I looked at the dusty books in the bookcase and thought of my past hobbies and dreams. I resolutely picked up the pen that had been put aside for a long time and started writing and submitting articles. Since then, my life has become busy and fulfilling, and I have met many like-minded literary friends and respected editing teachers. I read and write every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, which is no different from going to work. Hard work paid off. During that time, I published many articles, and the royalties I earned were enough to support myself. I felt a sense of accomplishment. I was busy every day, full of hope and energy, and my gloomy mood was swept away. Although I later re-entered the workplace, looking back now, it was that time that made me rethink the meaning of writing to me, and I have persisted until now. For me, being a full-time mother is also a profession, and it is a more meaningful profession. I not only take care of my children and family, but also regain my hobby of writing, improve myself, and achieve certain results. . These feelings of satisfaction and achievement cannot be experienced at all in the workplace. At that time, because I often took my children out to play, I met many stay-at-home mothers, and I met one of them almost every day. She asked me what I did every day besides taking care of the children, and I said reading and writing. She looked surprised, as if I were an alien, and said: \”What are you doing after eating? Who can read and write these days? Can you eat it? Are you tired? It\’s up to you! You might as well watch TV and sleep It\’s comfortable. Anyway, we work hard at home to raise our children, so it\’s natural for our husband to support us. You have to learn from me and don\’t make yourself so tired. Women, don\’t be too pushy. You have to wear something.\” I looked at it. She is muddyThe fat on the body, the oily face, the swollen and dull eyes, the messy hair, the flashy clothes, just smiled and said nothing, summer insects can\’t talk to Bing. She advised me to wear it if I wanted to, but she didn\’t want to wear it herself. Her dignified appearance was the result of long-term self-indulgence, lack of ambition, and muddle along. Maybe one day, when the child grows up and no longer needs her care, when she has nothing in common with the people next to her, and when her husband starts to dislike her, she will wake up. Being a stay-at-home mother is not an excuse to wait for death. You are born to be a human being and you have to live for yourself. No matter what role you are in, you should never give up on growth. Making yourself excellent is a lifelong lesson. I joined a literary friend group, where most of them are stay-at-home mothers, many of whom are mothers of second children. Their lives are colorful and lively. While taking good care of their families, they all have their own hobbies and pursuits. Some run public accounts and are successful and well-known in the circle; some make videos and earn a lot of money, even more than many office workers; some do micro-business, have a flexible mind, and earn a lot of profits. She needs to be supported by her husband, and she is a little rich woman; some are passionate about fitness, and have developed a devilish figure, and look like young girls in their thirties and forties; some get up at four or five o\’clock, read and write, cultivate flowers, cook and exercise every day, It\’s like a \”decathlon\”… After looking at their lives, does anyone still think that stay-at-home mothers should just do housework, watch TV, sleep in, and just hang out? Because full-time mothers have more time at their disposal, they can maximize their interests and hobbies and create unlimited possibilities. Being a full-time mother is also a profession, and it is a greater profession, and it can also be the most exciting profession.
