When I was 18, she said "Ok, me time." and became an award-winning jewelry designer within a few years. Now she's going back to school to get another masters, this time in Psychology. She still says, however, that raising her children was the best time of her life and the best decision she's ever made. <BR/><BR/>I can't imagine how shitty it must feel to have your child say that you don't do anything, but there is always, always time to do something else! It's not too late! Maybe you'll never become the person you thought you'd be, but my mother and her friends are all such an inspiration to me. When he's old enough to know better, you'll be an inspiration to your son!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992489367792132224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-68181791408165616122007-04-24T18:28:00.000-07:002007-04-24T18:28:00.000-07:00I think you are reading too much into what your so...I think you are reading too much into what your son said. I think he doesn't see you go off to work every day and have a "defined" profession. You stay home and cook and do laundry and all the millions of other things but that is way too abstract for a kid to see. He sees dad go to work and mom stays home.<BR/><BR/>I once asked my daughter what color skin I had. She was about 3. Her answer was orange (thought you might like that answer!). I guess what I'm trying to say is sometimes they see just what is put in front of their face and they don't take into consideration a lot of other things we adults would. By him saying you don't DO anything probably just means you don't go off to a separate job.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. You should be proud of yourself for raising your kids. I think its really important. I wish I could have been able to do that when my daughter was born but financially it wasn't an option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
