pride

[laxmi13]

Yesterday, I was driving Lucas to a class at the Y and I started thinking about where my life stood at the moment. A stay at home mom (SAHM). I've never really had a moment where I wasn't proud of what I'm able to do with Lucas or thankful to have the chance. As much as I believe that Lucas is who he is because of Lucas and not me, I couldn't

This is actually one thing that I don't like about the spirit of popular feminism--even though I don't think that original feminists like Betty Friedan had anything against SAHM's, and that what they were protesting against was the notion that women were only meant for the home, it's somehow been twisted over the years to imply that SAHMs are anti-feminist or somehow "not living up to their full potential". I think this is BS.

I also think that an education isn't something that you just "don't use", especially a liberal arts one. Saying that a SAHM is wasting their education implicitly assumes that what one learns in college is only useful for professional careers and not raising a child, which is non-obvious to me.

Anyways, I know I have yet to meet Lucas and everything, but for whatever it's worth, I'm proud of you.

thanks :-)

separate note..

it makes me sad sometimes that most of my college friends have never met Lucas :-( partly because it means i haven't seen most of my college friends in forever...

i can't wait til someone invents a instantaneous transporter :-(

Yeah, I can't wait for transporters either... My guess is that Starbucks will make them, since they've already got so many locations around the world and it'd be really cool to be able to meet literally any of your friends at one of them. Also, anyone willing to pay $5 for a latte should be able to pay a bit extra for teleportation.

LOL!

This is especially funny because my brother just finished filling out a part time application for starbucks. We have one down the road.. but most people here in New England prefer/are addicted to Dunkin Donuts.

I don't know how much their hot chocolates cost but if they had transporters, I would totally pay $5 for it! Even knowing that DD charges $2...
