Whatever your job may be, there’s a high chance that you will find it stressful at some points. There’s always a deadline looming, a video call to make, or a project to present, and it can feel like your world may come crumbling down at any moment.
Unfortunately, amidst all the stress of our day-to-day work, we can forget that other people’s jobs can be equally as stressful but in different ways. We often believe that the stress level that is personally felt can not be matched by others – when in reality, many are stressed for reasons unknown to you.
Being a stay-at-home parent is assumed to be a simple job, which typically involves taking care of the children and ensuring that there is dinner for the whole family. This assumption is damaging, so Ryshall Castleberry from Florida, took it upon herself to show the world that stay-at-home parents deserve more credit than they’re given.
#1
People may ask: “But, what do you do all day?” to a stay-at-home parent, assuming that there isn’t much to do. In reality, the responsibilities are far more extensive.
#2
It begins with an imagined situation where a husband complains to his psychologist that his “wife does not work”
#3
The list of tasks she does every day doesn’t end there…
#4
Wait…what about the night?
#5
Castleberry then goes on to list all occupations that moms have
#6
“The woman is like salt”
#7
Her powerful post has been “liked” over 640,000 times and shared by more than 300,000 people.
#8
It may seem like a lot, but that’s not enough.
#9
However, not everyone agreed with her post.
#10
Some working mothers criticized Castleberry that “there’s those of us who do all that AND work.”
#11
Castleberry defended her post by saying that anyone, whether a working mom or working dad, should be able to “read the message and replace the words with words that fit [their] situation.”
#12
It has to be read by everyone to really appreciate all of the enormous sacrifices moms make for the sake of their children.
