[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired by a quote by Nicole Kosman’s character from the Expats. What do you truly think about women who just want to stay home, tend to the family and are happiest doing this if they can afford to?[/quote]

from the outside I look like this but- I have significant health challenges, always have had but we always wanted kids.  I knew that I wouldn't be able to do both, in fact I have to have massive amounts of help to just raise the kids, some days I have to go back to bed after drop off, many times I go retch in the bathroom, wash my mouth and come out and no-one would know, or im walking around and cant feel one of my legs.  One of my kids has inherited my sluggishness and poor health, thank goodness no migraine or neurological symptoms yet though.  I have to support this child a LOT.  Im lucky that my spouse has a 'big' job but ppl would be shocked by how much he has to help b/c sometimes I just pass out from weakness and I'd have trouble staying employed and we'd just be poor if he dialed it back.

I remember scoffing at my mom b/c she seemed super 'lazy' to me but as I got older I realized that she just couldn't keep up and she eventually developed leukemia from the blood disorder that we both share. [/quote]
