>>NEVER want things to go back to the way they were.<<
What way they were?
You mean when women raised kids and were given kudos for it?
When one got all her housework done then sat around with the other neighborhood moms, drank coffee and watched soaps while the kids played?
When we never had to deal with a “b!tch” boss fighting her way to the top?
I’m there. I would not settle for some lazy man who decided that my paycheck was worth more than my motherhood.
I’m home, homeschooling my kids and he deals with all the work crap.
You call it “freedom”.
I can it “chains”.
No, I call it choice. Isn’t it wonderful to be able to choose? Instead of having no choice but perhaps to marry some man you really don’t care for becaue you have no choice in your life’s path?
i like staying home, also , but people give you sh*t about it sometimes.
And I do get defensive, i admit it.
