Blogging Baby takes on CBS’ characterization of work at home moms as people who are all in direct sales, as if work at home moms can’t do anything besides having cutesy little parties to spend the real money their husband’s make working at real jobs as if the mom’s couldn’t possibly be involved in (sniff) “Corporate style” activities.
From Blogging Baby…
I work from home, doing the same sorts of things I might have done even if I wasn’t working at home – blogging, marketing, and freelance business writing. So I wince whenever I excitedly ask another mom what, exactly, it is she does for a living, from home, and learn that it’s one of the dozens of opportunities to market to your friends.
Evidently, that’s all CBS thinks of, when they think “work from home mom.â€? The Early Show did a feature on moms who make money from home and talked about Pampered Chef, Creative Memories, and those strange-but-very popular Longaberger baskets. According to The Early Show, it’s “not just limited to Tupperware, Avon or Mary Kay cosmeticsâ€?! But I want to know – it’s not just limited to direct selling, either, is it? There are other moms out there who work at home without having to throw “partiesâ€? to sell their products – right?
