Stay at home moms are always faced with people who place stereotypes on them. There are three different stereotypes that these women get categorised in. The first one involves identifying the stay at home mom as a lady that wears an apron all day and cooks and cleans and runs a perfect home with everything in place. She is portrayed as being the perfect wife and mother with never a hair out of place and always with a dash of makeup. These stereotypes were created predominantly in the 60’s where housewives were all of the above or at least appeared to be. From movies to advertisements this picture of the stay at home mom made us believe that a good housewife had to be perfect.
The other stay at home mom stereotype that was created was the lazy mom lying on the couch watching Dr Phil and days of our lives all day. This type of stereotype portrays a more modern stay at home mom living a middle class life. She does not care much of herself and only does what she has to. As for a perfect home, these stereotypes could not care less.
The last stay at home stereotype is the mom that lives a more privileged lifestyle. Staying in a mansion, she lives off her husbands well earned money. She goes for manicures daily and meets friends for coffee as often as necessary. Never lifting a finger to tidy up, she manages the staff to do this. Still a good mother, she takes the children on shopping trips.

Childhood Loneliness
Childhood loneliness is an increasing problem. If you recognize childhood loneliness in your own child it is your responsibility to take steps to help your child learn how to socialize. Childhood loneliness is often the result of not knowing how to engage with other children. The desire to play is innate and natural. Sometimes you have to recognize that a child might need a playmate that is particularly suited to your child’s play style. Intellectual boys generally do not appreciate rough housing with other kids until they learn that it is safe. There is no point in forcing a boy who doesn’t want to wrestle and get rough to play in ways that they are not comfortable with.
Childhood loneliness is a serious problem. When children do not learn how to socialize well when they are young their problems are often exacerbated as they enter school. Setting up play dates with other children that are calm and quiet can help your child start the socialization process. Getting dirty and playing in a rather silly manner with your own child can also help them learn that playing is fun. Children learn from their parents, and serious parents often have serious children. Childhood loneliness is an obvious problem if you are paying attention to the way your child interacts with other children when they are young. When you see childhood loneliness don’t push it off and assume it will work itself out when they start school. Children need socialization before they are tossed into school.

Jam their problems - typically feminine caprice. That is what will make a man, if he leaves the favorite? Right, it will soothe the mountain in the company of friends. A desperate girl? Eat chocolate. One, two dozen ... Then pick up the weight and having shocked at changes in the mirror, decided that «and now I am just no love! » And then revert to a best friend - the refrigerator.
Chocolate bars and cakes - just a temporary replacement of love. No, of course, you can skip a hand to recruit dozens of kilograms, to replace the 42nd in the size of the 52nd. However, the desire to love and be loved still remain. Protect yourself from fat!
Most vulnerable to over-eating are single young women with concerns about their appearance. The absence of love creates vulnerability. An attempt to protect themselves, how to hide deeper personal problems led to the appearance of wrinkles. «Under the thickness of fat, I’m unbeatable» - this idea is hidden in the subconscious.
And yet, according to psychologists, the desire for something and gnaw the mask sexual hunger. A good doctor prescribed would in this case, a kiss for breakfast, passionate embrace for dinner, rather than a kilogram of chocolates.
BEWARE OF hunger
Love suffering brunt of loneliness and self-doubt - that the only reason for increasing the weight (we're not talking about the physiological causes, such as endocrine diseases). You know the feeling of HUGE hunger, thirst to go into the food «bout» problems and harmful, calorie diet? This hunger is not physiological, but rather a sincere, if a drug is selected food. Yes, it fills your stomach, but still does not avoid the emotional emptiness.
Why is this happening? Overeating under stress psychologists explain that people deprived of love, is the most readily available source of pleasure - food.
