Fears Faced by Stay-at-home Parents PART 3

Number Three

Many people who are considering becoming a new stay-at-home parents worries about the “Perceived Loss Of Status.”

Many men and women are so oriented into the world of work outside home that they consider doing housework or cooking a loss of status. They feel it is beneath them, making them less important and seeing themselves as having a loss in status. These people miss out on a lot of life.
Maintaining the household is not a step backward in your life. Every job, no matter where you work, is important. Pride in what you do is not limited to what job you perform. It is based upon how well you do the job and the benefits and satisfaction it brings to you and the people around you. Doing any job is a matter of setting priorities and putting your job in the correct perspective.

Making the house a home is a hard job that when accomplished right gives you a great feeling. Your mental approach is every bit as important in this job as in any other. You are a very important and a significant benefactor to your family. You are the CEO of your household. Never forget that your performance at home makes a big difference in how successful you, your children, or even your spouse, are in life. Tackle the new aspect of your career with all the gusto you can. The rewards are something that is tangible. You will see the results of your actions in the faces and actions of those that are the benefactors of your work.
