F003 The Truth About Stay At Home Moms


Listen Later

In this episode of Fathership, I'm getting into the topic of Stay At Home Moms. Their challenges, their value, and why I think they are easily the most important member of a household. Society wants to make them feel lesser, devalued, pathetic or weak, but nothing could be further from the truth. Anyone who has been around a stay at home mom for any length of time could tell you the benefits of having a devoted, attentive, loving and caring partner and parent around during the peak developmental years. That is what's happening on today's episode. I go into detail about my experience being married to a stay at home mom, and the challenges she's face with family, jealousy, feminists and career people, all the while being the Most Valuable Player in the lives of both my daughter and I. If you know a stay at home mom, send her the episode!
