Thank you for saying this. I always feel so..univited when it comes to things like this. I went to college and have a BA in Lit. I finished my last year and a half while being married with a baby at age 22. We had two more kids. I stopped working to be home with them when the oldest was 7 and the middle 3 and the youngest wasn't even born yet. The older two were going to day care while I worked and always getting sick and never having enough time with me. i was always taking off of work for them and bosses are not that understanding. I worked so hard for a degree and have no career, no job and no sense of society's view of purpose. I am now at the point of considering going back to get my teaching certificate to teach high school english. I was even in a class but then my son had a stroke and I had to drop it. And now I am having rotator cuff repair surgery so it will have to wait. There are days where I look in the mirror and see an old 44 year old woman who has been titled "housewife, homemaker, mom, stay at home mom.. and the usual nasty ones like lazy, too good for working, not smart enough, not desiring more. I just do not know why it seems that in order to celebrate womanhood I should be climbing the career ladder or doing it all- career, mom, perfect wife. i often feel like I am in between somewhere.....
