I hear you as a wife and Mom, I have worked part time occasionally to help out but most of my family is disgusted that I don’t have a career and work. For years I allowed them to make me feel inferior and now I just tell them I like being home with the kids, it is fulfilling, I wish I would figured this out about 15 years ago.
