A Letter to Ann Romney


Dear Mrs. Romney,

     Yes, being a Mom can be a full time job and very difficult.  However, how much more difficult is it to be a mother of five and to have to work because your family needs your income to survive?

     Ask widows, divorcees or women whose husbands just disappeared, never to be heard from again.  Your husband supports the Paul Ryan budget which would cut social programs such as Head Start, Planned Parenthood, free healthcare and food stamps all of which help these women make ends meet.

     Your experience staying home with five children is singular in that you have always had the means to raise your children and help to do so.  I don't think you can compare apples to oranges.  The oranges of this world will surely object.  I was the mother of two and the stepmother of two more.  I dealt with daycare, budgets, unemployment, and uninsured hospitalization.  Did you have any of these experiences?  If not, you have no room to talk about your "hard" job.
