[quote=Anonymous][quote]I grew up 50 years ago in a small town where every mom was a SAHM . . . except mine. Every school event like the Christmas pageant, end of year picnic, etc. was held DURING THE DAY. My mom could never come (because she was employed as a teacher in another school and it just was not done back then). I did feel a bit hollow knowing every other kid had a mom there. But one year when I was 10, my grandmother came from far away to visit. She came to watch my maypole dance and I will never forget that. She gave me a quarter that day too! I came to understand why my mother could not be there and I love my mother a ton (even though she's gone now). I am so glad that people are at least sensitive to this issue, but I think the kids are more resilient than you can imagine. There are lots of hurts in growing up and we cannot shelter our kids from all of them. I am not a traumatized adult. I know that I was loved. That's all I need.[/quote]
