Babies

Extremism is so annoying. So I'm probably not going to exert my feminism and work after I have children or not have any at all. I will probably settle down, have kids, do the cooking and cleaning and whatnot. But I will not stand for the opposite view which says that my PLACE is in the kitchen or popping out kids or tending to my husbands every need. Oh H NO. It's gonna be give and take, buddy. Stadd is such a good example to me in this aspect. My mom gave up a thriving career to do what she believed was her role by divine nature and stay home and raise us kids. It has been hard for her, as I suspect it will be for me. Neither of us want to stay home all day, everyday for YEARS with just children for company. Stadd knows this and sees her suffering and trying her best and he helps. He might cook dinner one night instead, take the kids out one evening so she can have time to herself, once a month or so he will let her go out of town to her sisters house all weekend. He doesn't view her motherhood role as an obligation so much as the huge responsibility it is, treating her with respect for it and helping to lighten the load as much as possible. That. THAT is what I want.
