I feel this is such a problem for women, especially, including my own mother. As a teenager I actually became pretty frustrated with my mom that she didn't have a life--she hadn't worked since I was born, she didn't really have any hobbies besides grabbing lunch with friends on occassion. She used to be interested in Wall Street and architecture and other cool stuff-- what happened? I know she enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom, but I've really been thankful, actually, that after my parents' divorce, she's HAD to work. <BR/><BR/>Even though she's not making as much money after so much time off, I think she's really enjoying learning new skills (computer stuff used to be totally beyond her; she's also studying to pass a test so she can sell insurance and do mutual funds for the firm she does office work for), seeing people, being productive, etc. And I have a feeling once things with work (like studying for that test!) are less busy, she may get involved in other things, as well. :o) <BR/><BR/>I still see a lot of women that don't seem to have a life besides kids, though, and it's so nice to be encouraged to have one--even a life beyond <I>work</I> and <I>kids</I>.Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739905207888101496noreply@blogger.com
