The hard thing is carrying the label as "Working Mom." Doesn't EVERY mom work? I mean I am just pulling a double shift, right? Working double duty? And then the counter-argument would be, what about dads? Yes! What about Dads!?! If you are as lucky as I am to have a husband who is as supportive and helpful around the house as B is, (he even does most of the laundry!! Note: I only messed up a few loads of laundry until I was given a work-release from the laundry) then can't I say that he is a Working Dad? In this case, I would be okay with the term, "Working Mom" if and only if dads can be called, "Working Dads" because that just insinuates that being a Dad or a Mom means that they work too.
Am I being too gender equality pushy? Am I reading into it too much? My husband knows me too well. I can see him reading this and he will be all, "no way" but he will be nodding his head in his mind, I just know it. I love you too sweetie! ;)
Me with my "Working Man" at Disney. Yet another post that will have to wait for another day... or so. |
