How do you not feel guilty when spouse is working and you're not?

Oh god, I made it two pages and I couldn't read anymore, it was too painful. How basic do you have to be to have a week off and not be able to find anything more interesting to do with yourself than perpetuate mommy wars?

OP, are you playing dumb on purpose? Plenty of people would prefer not to work if they didn't need the money. It's usually because they want to be as available to their family as possible, and they have outside interests and hobbies to keep them busy. Plenty of other people might want to go back to work but can't find the job flexibility that their family requires.

As for me, I stayed home until my children were in school and now work part time. I'm sure someone on DCUM will tell me why that's wrong, but it works for us.

Have to wonder this as well. And it's clear to pretty much everyone that op has WAY too much time on her hands - agree with PPs that maybe she should try spending a little of it with her children (and less writing long weird ditzy diatribes online).
