My belief system

I love my mom. She did the absolute best she could, but I blame the societal pressure of the 60's and 70's for my lack of a homemaking role model. During the sexual revolution, there were so many being told "you can do it", "Have a high powered career" , "break glass ceilings" and when you accomplish that " you can have a family too!" I was one of the lucky ones. My mom was a teacher so was home a quarter of the year. But when she worked she worked, and not just during the day.

I envied those whose parents had time to pack their lunches and take care of them day in and out, make home cooked meals every night, bake cookies, and all those other mom-type things. Now that the ceilings have been broken and women know that they can be anything that they want to, there has been a new movement for women, a movement toward home. More and more women, college educated women, are staying home. They realized you CAN have it all, but its hard to give 100% on all fronts. They are having at all, just at different times in their lives.
