I was a stay at home mom and lost my mind, which for me I think is bc I graduated from college two weeks before my son was born. However now I would love to be a stay a home mom, who could voluenteer to keep myself "working" stimualted but unfortunantly cannot bc I am now a single mom. Here is something to consider although the idea of being a "Suzy homemaker" is nice, many women of those generations were abused by their husbands (and it was 'ok') and were on some form of anti depressants. (which sadly is still the case today, but at least we have options) I knw women's lib isn't your issue per se, but I would rather be living in our generation than theirs, for the simple reason of that we can make choices. I do agree that taxes and inflation are way out of control which creates a non option for familes who would love to have a stay at home parent.
That's true. Thanks for your post. It saddens me to think I will probably never have kids because A: can't afford them, and B: I don't have time for them. Working 50 hours a week really sucks! And I find it hard enough to try to get some housework done, and I don't even have a child in tow!
