ArchivesBehind the words "Work" and "Money"
in reply to a message by Gia Nadine
When I read your post I could help to wonder how odd it is that we in our modern society differ between a mother taking care of her child, and a woman leading a company.
It appears that we somewhere along the line stopped defining work as what we do when we do not rest and instead began to speak of work only when we earn money. Only when money is involved we work it seems.
What puzzels me is not that the word "money" and the word "work" is connected in a capitalist society. Nay what puzzles me is that the word "work" no longer seems to cover taking care of ones child.
But if so how are we then to define taking care of ones child?
As a hobby?

I am not sure I understand what you mean
You prefer time instead of what?

wow what your mind ponders when I just let you all know I had to go back to work!! But that is a good question to think about!!! I think it may be because it was your choice to have the child, or most of the time it was your choice!! But work is something we have to do to live!! Which unfortuntly is something sad!!
