Liz,

it wasn't an insinuation. I'm saying that there ARE outlets for SAHMs to find intellectual stimulation - BB is one of them. It was for me, and obviously IS for many of you, because, let's face it, posting on BB really isn't a joint activity between mum and child.

There's plenty of adult company to be had if you get out and about, and the beauty of it is you take your baby with you.
I agree with you there. Again, it's another way to find balance, and perhaps fulfilment. Being a mother isn't necessarily something you have to be exclusively.

I also didn't insinuate that being a SAHM couldn't be fulfilling. I said that I didn't find it fulfilling. In fact I stated that if someone does find it fulfilling, it's fabulous for them. What I DID say (rather than insinuate) is that many SAHMs will (and do) look to stimulate their intellect in other ways that have nothing to do with their kids - and BellyBelly is one such way - to find whatever balance they need to be fulfilled.

Is that clearer? I am not of the sort of opinion that you've attributed to me. If my position is NOT clear after this post though, please feel free to PM me and we can discuss this between us.
