Thoughts following a talking-to from she-who-cannot-be-named

...why is it, that the man in the house can leave for work before the kids are even up and return only an hour before they go to bed, and that's him 'being the breadwinner', yet when I, the woman of the house, leave for a gig after spending all day looking after said kids, that's me 'abandoning the family?'

That's a very good question!

And probably has everything to do with how men( or is it just society in general; including other women- we're our own worst critics sometimes) make women feel guilty for having a life of their own.

Just carping on.

Life hey? It got in the way of grand plans of mine...

I like the way people say to me 'so, who's looking after your kids'? I'm pretty sure they don't ask my husband that when he goes to work.
