Hi. If you’ve just come across my blog, then maybe you should take some time to get to know me better. It’s my opinion that society is pressuring me to get outside the home and work, actually, and that’s a large source of the psychological discomfort a lot of SAHMs experience.

I also work from home and could not find a better job for me if I tried.

One of the things I really try to do here is not proscribe what other mothers should or shouldn’t do (beyond loving their children and enjoying being a mother). I’d appreciate the same courtesy and respect for my decision.

Hi, I just came across your blog. It sounds to me that you need to go back to work and get out of your house and away from your kids.
I am a working mother. You will be happy to know that after returning to the work force you appreciate your children so much more.
I suggest to get out and do what you want to do… not what your society wants you to do.

You’re welcome Michelle!

I hear ya, Janean. I’m thinking the next GWP will be the first full week of May.

It’s nice to read ideas from people who actually HAVE thoughts about motherhood. I kinda fly by the seat of my pants most of the time…

Will we have a new GWP soon?

Thanks, Jordan–I appreciate the mention. Nice to know I’m not the only one thinking about this topic lately.
