However my husband is disabled is unable to work. I work and he tries to do those things like dishes meals etc. It bothers me very much that I dont alwasys have the time to do those extra things around the house.

Why? If you are so happy with your feminist life, why in the world are you reading homemaking blogs where women love being wives and mothers? <BR/><BR/>I do live in the "real world" and I do have a job. I have a career that I wholeheartedly love- caring for my family. And guess what? It is my CHOICE to do this, too. Why do feminists have a problem with a woman CHOOSING to stay at home? <BR/><BR/>For the record, I cannot knit a sock or anything else for that matter. :)<BR/><BR/>His,<BR/>Mrs. UMrs. Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171775571919828070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-19945287564256537442008-10-27T21:51:00.000-04:002008-10-27T21:51:00.000-04:00Anonymous,Everyday homemakers are fighting to hold...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Everyday homemakers are fighting to hold on to the honor that comes with homemaking.

Sad not for myself but for them, because they don't realize that the life of a homemaker isn't in the glitz that we could present to the world but in the small tasks that make our family's life run efficiently and in a godly manner.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Kelly @ The Barefoot Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048721787666752247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-10931515718722647282008-10-06T11:12:00.000-04:002008-10-06T11:12:00.000-04:00I just have to ask whether the owner of this site ...I just have to ask whether the owner of this site and those who post here have always felt this love toward staying home and homemaking.<BR/>I have to admit that this was not what I had planned for my life and I do not always deal well with it. <BR/>Where I live, people do not drop by, ever. It's hard to get someone to come over by invitation. Everyone is so busy that they have no time, even within the Christian homeschool group I am in.<BR/>I would love to find someone to talk to. I need to move from being here because I have to be (long story) to where I am at least content with being here at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-7646980227355330322008-10-05T15:42:00.000-04:002008-10-05T15:42:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting the article.

I have found myself saying that many young girls need to hear and learn things like that.......but many older women need it, too. <BR/>If the young girls learn it, they will wish to stay at home, if the older women knew it, they would stay at home!Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137358585207348637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-92139596396456722652008-10-04T01:44:00.000-04:002008-10-04T01:44:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing that post.
