I dithered about putting Ewan MacGregor in there instead but I think I might frighten him (poor wee lamb), and there is most definitely a need for the serial comma in that long list (the sex packing is relevant though - it's usually me that packs the lube or not, way TMI!!!!)<br /><br />I'm in agreement in part re: the Family Organiser role as a stay-at-home But it shouldn't have to be everything. As far as I remember, a relationship is meant to be a shared effort, and parenting is meant to be a shared effort. The house-stuff I am willing to accept though I would swoon with delight if I had the kind of man-about-the-home who I had to physically restrain from putting up shelves/decorating/mending stuff. Being Family Organiser does not however, preclude communication - it has never been an acceptable substitute.<br /><br />The fridge poetry is a small metaphor for how much i still don't 'get' about life :) and was one of your less sordid offeringspomomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338550638937829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012027.post-51236570382373379122010-07-16T11:50:16.107-07:002010-07-16T11:50:16.107-07:00A few comments

If for no other reason than employers tend to be less forgiving of 'time away from the job' to organise the family. Not necessarily fair but true all the same! The real unfairness is when the woman is expected to be family organiser AND work outside the home. Far too many of my married friends have to do that if you ask me. With one very honourable exception!<br /><br />- fridge poetry, - ok, it's probably not entirely reasonable to display but I think my last effort is far more obscure (and funny!)<br /><br />Good post tho big sis<br /><br />lil sis xxxxxxxxBexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488326111621207081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012027.post-25620313408393310642010-07-16T11:16:04.912-07:002010-07-16T11:16:04.912-07:00I had to click through to see the movie star of yo...I had to click through to see the movie star of your choosing.

It might be the start of another supermum myth - ie. if you're not juggling the housework, the parenting, the husband and the entrepreneurial home business on the side then what kind of a mother do you think you are? Sometimes I wonder if not having a home business might be the new pariah status in the competitive world of mothering??<br /><br />And Sue did give a great reply to my comment, which I'm very grateful for.pomomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338550638937829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012027.post-34416029138241061992010-07-13T12:07:52.209-07:002010-07-13T12:07:52.209-07:00I think that when you go to a J-O-B the childcare ...I think that when you go to a J-O-B the childcare is understood. When I worked it was all very clear. I had to work, I needed to use daycare. I opted for part-time because I was more comfortable with that, but no one suggested that it made me a bad mom. Working mothers are hardly shocking anymore.<br /><br />HOWEVER, I find the world of the work-at-home mom to be a very different place. There's an expectation that somehow we'll be able to work while we also care for our children. There's an idea that avoiding daycare is the REASON we do this. But any work-at-home mom will tell you it's just as impossible to work effectively at home with a toddler underfoot as it would be at an office. Yet it all remains very hush-hush. I wonder if it's the next front of the work vs. not-working mom debate, and that's kind of sucky.<br /><br />I didn't think to ask about this in my interviews, maybe because I suppose it's a given - you can't do much with the kiddos underfoot. But it might not be so for everyone. I'm really glad that Sue stepped up and answered your question honestly, and I hope that you find an answer that works for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012027.post-64825164004672178202010-07-11T17:57:54.933-07:002010-07-11T17:57:54.933-07:00Thanks Shelley, and it's been great following ...Thanks Shelley, and it's been great following your progress with your painting and drawing on your blog.
