I just watched the video

Okay...I am rambling....I AM SO DARN HAPPY! Who's with me??????
Good for you, no GREAT for you I'm happy for you and what you are doing is good, great, fabs ... for you.

I love working, I love my kids, but I love working too. And atm I am handling it, juggeling it .. sort of

I find the video being a bit too extreme to both sides. The older lady's views are TOO feministic (for my taste) and the "housewives" are TOO housy ... for my personal taste. This coming from a woman who just resently started knitting/sewing and cooking - hipocrite!!! I believe in balance, but I'm me. I'm not anybody else. I don't think bad about the SAHM that love what they are doing, they like it. I don't think bad about the careerwife that "has it all" , she likes it. Thank heavens we are all different ppl. But as humans not judging is darn hard and I believe that is where we get our problems, our "my choice is better than your choice" tiffs. And that is what this is ... a personal choice.

I have a little problem with the "HAVE IT ALL" Whose to say that what I have is enough for me, but also for the woman next to me. For some woman being a SAHM is enough, for some not. And here I so love the way RoryRory said it ... we have to support eachother as WOMEN and MOTHERS not as SAHM, WAHM, Careerwomen ... just as plain women/mothers

BTW I like the idea that modernday "50's housewives" are actually doing something like writing part-time, learning how to bake the perfect handbad cake. That is all skills that can be used once the breadwinner in the family (ie the husband) is not there anymore. That is part of the reason why I work. My husband's dad died and left his mother, a SAHM, to care for two boys and she had NO work experiance what so ever.

In a sence I like the mentality that the man is the boss of the household. BUT that is it .. he is boss of the family, not the woman/wife. He's the wife's life PARTNER. So what if I like giving my husband coffee in bed, so what if I love that my family goes out in polished shoes that I did myself, SO BLOODY WHAT!!! That is what I like, does not mean you have to like it too.

Have loads of other stuff to say too but have to take a break now
