It seems like society (particularly American society) would be better if perhaps we all focused a little less on the material and a little more on family and experiences.

If my FI wasn't 3000 miles away & we were living close to each other there is no way (with my current schedule) I could take care of him like he or I would like to. <br /><br />I'm stuck in the middle I guess. :)RecessionistaBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520796114080337591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044775160361880048.post-80997266311188454192009-10-10T15:56:56.287-07:002009-10-10T15:56:56.287-07:00Oh I agree to some extent... I think the warm fuzz...Oh I agree to some extent... I think the warm fuzzies of doing it all wears off really quickly! There is a lot of pressure in our society for women to "do it all". <br /><br />We're "supposed to" work full time, look pretty, raise a family, cook dinner, clean the house, all while wearing heels & a smile. <br /><br />The reason I wrote this post is b/c my FI wants me to stay at home & raise our kids. I worry I'll go stir crazy. I don't have a single friend or even female family member that stayed home to raise their kids. Whenever they hear I plan to raise our family & stay at home, possibly working part time-- they scoff at me & I think they think of it as "slacking" off. <br /><br />They don't understand that life in rural KY is different than downtown Vancouver. lol there you can make a life with only one income. Here you need 3 or 4 salaries to get ahead.RecessionistaBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520796114080337591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044775160361880048.post-2963220053834438112009-10-10T15:31:12.665-07:002009-10-10T15:31:12.665-07:00Good post.

I don't think it's old fashioned at all, however there does need to be a realisation of the pressures most working women are under - trying to 'fit it all in' and mean recognise that the majority of women will do the best they can for them.Chichi {From Now Till I Do}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01678922739005464206noreply@blogger.com
