Newsflash: you can raise kids, plus have a career.[/quote]

I spent 30 plus years as working mom. Then I got laid off and now I work part time while staying at home. I'm not bored. I realize that  I was way overextended while trying to raise kids and work full time and that it almost ruined my mental health for good. The expectation that women can take on full time jobs while still performing most of their traditional roles is, in my view, nothing short of abuse. You can say that men should take on half of the home roles but that doesn't work for most of us. Meanwhile, men have come to expect women who can "do it all" and still be hot in the bedroom.

I don't take on most of the traditional mom role in my house. You're right, not enough hours in the day or energy. We outsource or let a lot drop. My home is not decorated, I buy my kids' clothes on line.  My husband does much more than almost any husband I know. I don't cook much. And I feel no guilt!  And in terms of being hot in the bedroom, I am, but that's because I have a high sex drive.[/quote]
