My wife has been babysitting off and on for the past 7 years for working
mothers. The children are so neglected and abused you wouldn't believe it.
They say they can work and still be a good mother but if you saw the
children my wife took care of you would know different. The children were
very insecure, dirty (they all had diaper rash), sick most of the time,
and dressed very sloppy. They were so hungry for love and attention it
made me very angry to think someone could treat their own children that
way. I'm not talking about 1 or 2 mothers. My wife has worked for at least
8 different working (selfish) mothers and all the children could be
described as above.
Most working mothers feel guilty and with good reason.
Women with children have responsibilty to take care of their children
properly. While the mothers are out at work doing their thing the
children are at home doing their thing (drugs, sex, crime). When the
womens movement started teenage pregnancies jumped 200%, drug usage
soared, crime increased. I think all of these are directly related to
women working and not home taking care of their children.
I know this will make alot of people angry but, the truth usually hurts.
