I have to agree with Cailin's take on it. I watched the show with interest, but as a SAHM I can say that I am nothing like that woman and her friends. If that is what it means to be a "Domestic Goddess" then a "Domestic Goddess" I am not. But yes, I am happy with my life as a SAHM and housewife, and wouldn't have it any other way - for now. I am studying as well atm because I fully intend to have a career in the future as well, once my children are older.
I liked Germaine Greer's comments - I thought she was quite measured. And I loved her comment that the only thing women these days have more of is work - so so true.
ETA - this month's 'Notebook' magazine is actually devoted to this topic - it's a good read.
Lara, don't feel inadequate hun You're doing the best you can and some people have a lot of support from family. One day of care for your little ones will do you and your family a world of good, as you'll be able to have some extra time to do what you need and hopefully some time for you too
