“My question is if Hashem only wanted women to stay home, then why would he give them the gift of a “brain” that needs to be stimulated and challenged?
If staying home is what you want, great. But if you need to pursue more, then there is no shame in that either….”
Are you saying that being a stay-at-home mom doesn’t require any brains?
Anyone who feels that being a full-time mother does not give them enough emotional, spiritual and intellectual satisfaction and is therefore looking for “more” needs to reexamine the whole motherhood thing. (That’s not to say that a woman might not want to pursue a profession for financial reasons, or because she enjoys that particular field. But it should never be because she’s looking for “more” outside of mommyhood.)
