In many ways - this post is an answer at least in part to your last one.<BR/><BR/>I think we are all - as a culture, generation, whatever - expecting too much. To the extent of losing sight of simple joys like food, a supportive spouse at home, and general decrease in stress levels that such things people tend to take for granted entail. Instead, we want everything in one person, and always want - instead of looking at what we have.<BR/><BR/>It is hard to be a housewife/househusband - especially one managing a child. I have done this for Kamala's first two years, and know this for a fact. And know **exactly** what a working husband would think of it too - and how wrong that perception is. Buried under that mountain of chores, lovingly undertaken to support the working spouse - is a warm heart and a thinking mind. Sad that the working spouse does not see it.<BR/><BR/>Priya.Priyamvada_Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797797769716970487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-55472491516546333062007-12-07T13:10:00.000-05:002007-12-07T13:10:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Priyamvada_Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797797769716970487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-58471248228524616822007-12-07T12:15:00.000-05:002007-12-07T12:15:00.000-05:00No wonder stay at home moms feel so under apprecia...No wonder stay at home moms feel so under appreciated. I think men in our culture are slow with compliments, the whole attitude is "If I'm not complaining then its good" - in some ways they are like the under appreciated sysadmins in IT :-)ggophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152025930955161430noreply@blogger.com
