Abstract

“Full Time Moms, Full Time Heroes” is a documentary film about women who by their own volition decided to quit their jobs and become full-time moms. Did they make a mistake? Are they as happy as they thought they would be? How fulfilled do they feel in their lives? Do they feel appreciated and compensated in any way? Many women who work full-time dream of the day they don’t have to go to work and can just stay at home enjoying themselves. Many of our impressions of stay-at-home moms come from reality television shows; are such impressions similar in any way to the reality of a true stayat-home mom? The documentary is directed by Paola Zaidi, and includes interviews with real mothers in south Florida.
