I used to think my talents were too important to be "wasted" by staying home. We had more money, a bigger house, our kids went to private schools because I worked, but we lost the important things. I was not there for the kids and they got into trouble. I was too tired for my husband and he got into trouble. Now I'm left with a big, empty house, and an empty heart. I wish I'd realized the value of my skills in creating something that would last.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-53834569737499769622009-04-02T13:15:00.000-06:002009-04-02T13:15:00.000-06:00Clicking over right now...Clicking over right now...Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290994546386816813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-31864883487260091282009-04-02T08:45:00.000-06:002009-04-02T08:45:00.000-06:00It's always been a pet peeve of mine to be dismiss...It's always been a pet peeve of mine to be dismissed by professionals because "all" I do is stay at home.

When the therapists decided that I should go back to work after my stroke, it was a disaster and it worked out that between the cost of daycare, clothes and other work expenses, and that we ate out a lot because I was too tired to cook, I really wasn't making any money AND quality time with the kids was difficult. So I quit. <BR/><BR/>Motherhood has taken a beating and I think a lot of problems in our society are the result of its demise.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.com
