It's almost that time again. Unfortunately

I have roughly 3.5 weeks left of summer vacation. Then it's back to schedules, grading essays and the god awful commute. I was perusing (read: wasting time) the net yesterday and found an article on AZCetral.com about working moms. You can read the article here, but here are a few highlights...

Basically, the article states tha being a working mom is less apealing than it was in the past. All I can say to this is duh! With all the push for being a working mom and SAHM (and trust me, I know!) working moms are like the red headed stepchilds (metaphorically speaking, of course) of motherhood.

"What hasn't changed unfortunately is the workplace," she says. "Society is asking all mothers to do it all and do it better and better and they have their hands tied behind their backs."

Isn't this the truth?! I am sooooooooo sick of all the Mommy War talk and have been for a while. Now, as a mom who chose to go back to work, after not only being a SAHM/WAHM but writing a book about it, this has been an issue very close to my heart. And here's what I say - can't we all just get along? Do we have to judge other moms based on their decisions?

I firmly believe all the fighting is because women are so catty. LOL
