Another feminist at-home mother speaks
It takes energy, conviction, and heart to look at your assumptions and change the way you think when you're faced with new information or circumstances that challenge your mindset. Which I have always strived to be able to do, myself. Brava, Erin Bradley.

Hear! Hear!
Thanks for sharing this post, Anhata!
PS. How's the family?

We're careening along!
Things are considerably more mellow than they were six months ago. Parenting hurt children is the hardest thing I have EVER DONE. It's not for sissies, but then, neither is motherhood of any kind, is it?
We are in the process of applying for adoption for DD8 and DS6, and even with all the different things we're dealing with--PTSD from witnessing domestic violence, effects of abuse and neglect, attachment problems, ADHD, and so on, things are getting better.
And bottom line, when I hear the giggles and laughter of three kids in the backseat, or whereever, my heart sings. I'm already thinking ahead to #4, but don't tell DH, he'd freak out, I'm sure.
Thanks for asking!
disability
Important information most homemakers probably don't know.
My wife was a homemaker all of our married life, 41 years. When she became disabled with rheumatoid arthritis, we found out that she does not qualify for disability because she does not have a work history. I guess according to our government, raising three children and taking care of a household is not considered work at all.
that's what happened to me
I became disabled in 2006 and missed eligibility by 6 weeks. Even the SSI people were upset.
