She was not really cut out for the office life herself and didn't really understand why any woman would be.<BR/><BR/>The way she was raised was more in line with those old movies - the nanny, the cook, etc. etc. I think she was reacting against that and wanted to do everything herself, but then got frustrated sometimes at how much work it was. :-)madamabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182478139356658751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140753599557753204.post-4701100118477257782008-03-31T10:38:00.000-04:002008-03-31T10:38:00.000-04:00Your mom sounds like she was an amazing woman, I w...Your mom sounds like she was an amazing woman, I wish I had met her! She's right on that getting paid for housework stuff, too. <BR/><BR/>Of course, if I had to be a stay at home mom who cleaned and cooked for the family all the time, I'd have slit my wrists. Not all women are cut out for that line of work! People forget that the stereotypical 1950s housewife had "staff" -- nannies, housekeepers and cooks. So they could go "eat lunch."<BR/><BR/>Funny to see when you watch old moies ...Litzz11@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843479112124843471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140753599557753204.post-43048780061597511142008-03-30T12:09:00.000-04:002008-03-30T12:09:00.000-04:00hee! thanks, dirk.

By circumstance and choice I do most of the housework,shopping,etc. I really hadn't thought of it but it really is work, at times very hard work. I agree, women should celebrate your difference. I've often wondered what it would be like if we were a matriarchal society. Each time I've come to the conclusion we'd be better off.<BR/><BR/>(Pssst,I'm a Virgo too.)Snorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072750456896497551noreply@blogger.com
