Thanks for pointing me in this direction! You have brought lots of nods and smiles from me with this essay. As a highly educated person with a flourishing career, having children was a big culture shock to me, and the slowing of my brain was extremely frustrating. I'm glad to say that my brain is clicking again, and I certainly know yours is too! My girls are just about to have their 9th and 4th birthdays, and I'm pleased to say that even though I say "Because I said so!" daily, I haven't yet had to say "Hands out of pants!"

You better feel you're intelligent, because when your sweet little boys become teenagers, you will began to wonder how you ever had the sense to get up, get dressed, and get through a day!

Now our daughter is poised to enter college. Looking back, I can say with certainty that my world was actually BROADENED, in every sense of the word, once I became a stay-at-home mom. Who would have thought that possible? You'll never regret it - and from your Christmas letters and other news you send, I can tell that your world is wider, too. One can't always see it when one is in the thick of things, and it flies in the face of conventional wisdom for "modern women." A good read is "What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us," by Danielle Crittenden. I won't let Arielle leave home without it!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512946974284490153noreply@blogger.com
