Competition

I recently have come across a rash of blogging on the topic of, "Who has it harder? Stay at home mom or working dad?"

Why the competition? The work is different, the compensation is different, the stresses are different, the time requirements can be different or fluctuate given the day, and all of our personalities are different.

And, BTW, I haven't seen ONE blog that poses it like this: Which is harder--staying at home with the kids or being the one that works full-time outside the home?

And, THERE, I acknowledge what many are afraid to: There are MOMS that work outside the home and DADS that stay at home with the kids.

Don't get started on who should really do what or who has it better than the other. I don't know anyone that doesn't struggle with the role(s) they fulfill in the work that they do whether they hate the work or love the work.

I'd rather talk about PLAY! Because we never do enough of it.
