Well I have been contemplating in my mind on what truely makes a good housewife/soccer mom. I mean not that I'm either or plan to be either any time soon, but there seems to be such conflict with both and so many standards. I mean do all housewives/soccer moms really have to be all perfect and alike? I think not. Everyone lives a different life and people seem to judge more sourly than positively on moms and wives these days. For example I love kate gosselin from john and kate plus eight. But it seems I am the only one because everybody else in the world thinks she is not a good mom just because she works and is not with her children every second. And this whole image of the wife/soccer mom staying home all day with the children and having dinner ready for her perfect husband every night? Give me a break what happen to women having careers? Maybe more men should stay home. And then there's the whole thing that men are the head of the household. When really even though the image doesn't seem politacally correct these days, women most likely should and are the head of the household.
Now on the subject of kate gosselin, I mean she is a wonderful mother in my opinion and was a wonderful wife before the divorce of her husband john. I mean yeah she was a little snappy with eight kids but wouldn't you be too? I know I would be. And because of that snappiness everyone has blamed her for everything. When really if they'd stop being judgemental and actually see that she's a great mom and is always spending time with her kids. People need to cut the crap and stop judging. These so called perfect wives/soccer moms should probably stop judging so much and following the tabloids and spend time with there own stinken families!
And I'm pretty sure that women are just as powerful as men now. I mean wasn't there a womens revolution. Aren't women aloud to vote and work alongside men now? Yes they are so why are they expected to stay home all day and play little miss perfect wife/soccer mom. I mean women can be just as good if not better at any job that a man can do. And should be able to persue a career that theywant to. Maybe the almighty dads should stay home and let the wives/soccer moms have a go at doing what they want to with a career.
And on the subject of all men are head of the household. Thats bull, pardon my almost french. Men would not be able to hold up the household if there wasn't women. Like going back to kate gosselin, I'd like to see her ex husband work a full time job and take care of all eight kids and keep up the housework, and help with homework, and give baths every night. No I really don't see that happening at all. It's a joke really I think women should stop letting men think they are head of household because they really are not.
Writing this essay I don't want you to think I'm sexist or anything. Because I'm not for sure. And it's true that in some cases men can be head of household, but thats only because there married to a pea brain woman. But really women should not be judged and try to be formed into the perfect house wife/soccer mom. I mean everybodys different and everybody lives a different life and people should realize that.

You're working at a huge disadvantage here because your reader doesn't know who Kate G is. Something to do with 'reality' TV?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, even if I did know about her, I'd still be saying, 'What about you? Where do you fit in? When do we find out about your household, your career, your kids and dinner and soccer?' So, there's a rewrite here with your own details--and you need to make very clear what the three elements of being a good mother are; that's kind of getting lost.
