My latest Poll: Do you wish you were (or are you) a stay at home mama resulted in an "extreme" answer!
I always choose two opposite ends of the spectrum for the first and last selection options of my polls. In my last two polls, the "extreme answers" (extreme may not be the right word to describe these options but on a scale of 1 to 4, they are 1 and 4-you can't get any lower or any higher!!) were chosen only in small numbers which left the overall result to be somewhere in the middle or "safe zone" of general or modified-type selections. These results left me wondering if my voters were just trying to be "normal" and not seem extreme in their parenting style. No one wants to be the crazy mom out far in left field, right? (It is surprising what qualifies as "left field" these days!!)
61% of voters are (or would LOVE to be) a stay at home mama-option #1! No mamas chose to work (or is working) full time. I am not even going to try to draw any other conclusion from these results other than I have a lot of loving mamas who come to my blog and vote! Perhaps if we all lived in canada and were able to care for our babies for a full year before needing to return to work, (what's with this 6-8 weeks maternity leave crap?) we'd have a different outlook on leaving our babies -probably not, but maybe ;)
Vote on the next poll: Are You A Lactivist? Why? Because I love seeing where the numbers fall among my community of mamas! (Check the poll down below for answer selections and definition-lol)
