The Grass Is Not Greener, Just Different: A Perfect Post

Periodically, there's a swirl of posts and writings and sniping and bitching about the great divide between stay-at-home mothers and work-out-of-the-house mothers. Someone feels dissed, someone else feels superior, and it's all just posturing and talk, because we're all mothers and we're all individuals and there's no right way to do anything.

I read a post recently from a woman, the mother of two little ones, who has just re-entered the workforce - so she's switched from the SAHM side to the WOHM side. And one paragraph in that post just blew me away:

And so, you stay at home moms out there, the ones who are desperately seeking the outlet of the working world, and thinking that that patch of grass will be so much greener than your own.....I have news for you. I have news for all of you, working and stay at home moms alike, neither side is greener. Neither is easier. Neither is better. In the end, they're just different patches of grass, equally difficult to navigate, equally demanding, but entirely different.

For just those few sentences, I'd like to award a Perfect Post to Danielle from Cacklin' from Cackalackie.
