Cue the Mommy War

July 16th, 2009 — 12:46pm

The mommy wars draw lots of attention. People like nothing more than women fighting whether it’s over a man or about how to raise children or in mud.

I hate nothing more.

As women, we moved apart during the Industrial Revolution. We moved to cities–away from our families and away from the women who were our support systems. The focus of our attention became the men who brought home a paycheck. We began to see one another as a threat rather than an extension of our network.

That’s just dumb (my intelligence is blinding, no?).

I say this all in an effort to mitigate any comments that might be made about what I am about to write next.

cue the whining…

It’s summer. My kids are home. Family events are taking place. The weather is gorgeous. My garden needs attention. My house is a mess.

I WANT TO STAY HOME. I DON’T WANT TO GO TO THE OFFICE ANYMORE.

Stupid money and bills and luxuries and travel. If it weren’t for you, I’d be job-title free!

And poor.

Oh well. Back to work.

But I Don’t Feel Like It

Tell me I can’t doing something and that’s all I want to do.

Tell me to do something and I’ll find every other possible thing that needs to be done.

Why oh why do I have such authority issues? They aren’t convenient either professionally or personally. Do I get to blame a parent? A rogue police officer from my past?

Guess I have to suck it up, put on my big girl panties and perform any number of other cliches and get busy doing?

Yeah. That’s what I thought.

Crap.
