[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every woman.

She must make a good career. She must be an involved mother and spend quality time with her children.  She must maintain attractive looks - go to the gym and beauty salons regularly.  She must maintain her house and host social gatherings. She must cook healthy and delicious meals. She must keep her husband interested - date night, etc.

Am I missing anything?

I hear what you are saying and I often am really irritated about expectations on women. HOWEVER, if you look at it from this perspective it changes

- Feel attractive and be healthy
- Have a close relationship with my spouse
- Have a close relationship with my kids
- Thrive in my career[/quote]

Thank you. This is a great perspective. [/quote]

It's a good perspective that her relationship with her spouse and kids relies on how much she weighs and if she gets wrinkles?

I'm the one with the "good perspective" bullets. No, that's not at all the point, I was trying to say the opposite. The point is that esp the beauty and health part are from YOUR perspective, not what your kids think of your weight or wrinkles, but how you FEEL[/quote]

She literally says, how she looks changes her relationship with her H and kids.

That is all kinds of f'd up. [/quote]

Np. Unfortunately for many women, body image is tied into self image and self esteem. Perhaps you and pp have reached a state of Nirvana with regards to your inner and outer selves. What is the harm if a person takes steps to maintain a healthful and attractive appearance which also raises her self confidence and self esteem? While you may be beyond that, most of us here are not. I'm just not going to let myself go, if I can help it. I won't be doing botox and fillers, but I do not begrudge anyone of their choice.
