Jesus christ

"Now I was needed. I was never alone.... Maybe the old me was not really dead, just changed, and the reward of my choice to stay home would not be better-off kids but a better-off self. I would return from my sabbatical with a broader perspective and a bigger heart, knowing something of the world that I hadn’t before."

Damn, son...

sounds like the realization of a hard lesson you didn't know you need but are glad you are learning

Kind of like when I started writing my book. I hated it at first, but then realized that I was good at it.

you are writing a book?

Sounds like she's been feed propaganda about how it's great to be a single woman in the work force until you die, then she realized she's alone, and having kids was something she never thought about until she had them, now she's reeling.

she is not a single mother

I didn't say she was

She was single until she was 27, then she realized that she was alone

Then got married, and had kids

what are you talking about today, kids

Tumblr shutdown porn and lifestyles of a stay at home mother

oof I did misread it. thank you for correcting me @Grenade123

@DrWittMDPhD idk if she got married at 27 and had kids, or if she was just alone while at work, unable to call a husband also at work.

@AHeroQuest i misread it the first 2 or 3 times too, lmao

i blame the typical bs we look at day to day. Had to work out all the preconceived notions

This sounds like she was single
"But I had been single, and the weekends stretched out before me like marathons. One Saturday afternoon, when I was 27 and feeling bored after a boozy brunch with friends and a walk around the reservoir with my headphones in, I called my older brother one too many times to talk. He said, 'You’re always alone, aren’t you?'"

ah you are right.

would have been helpful if she detailed what age she had kids

Yeah

Might've even taken her till 30 tbh

At youngest she was 27 though

most likely she had kids late

she kept stressing her husband's words/actions towards her along with her mother's worry for her

betting she wish she had kids earlier when she had more energy

she moved in with her parents while the husband stayed at the original home

Yeah handling babies is hard work. Doing that at 30 is no fun

But its normal now

Idk if any of you have seen this trailer but

It's really fucking bad

. . . I don't think so. She mentioned more than a couple of times how she wishes to be at work rather than taking care of her children all the time (even though it's not really like that)

This is supposed to be medieval England

Yikes @AHeroQuest sounds like she wasn't really into being a mother in the first place?

Yea our society has definately has pushed career more on women than family

women push carrier on other women, not society)

@Swedishmafia101 but was it tho; I had gotten the impression it was like a sci fi reimagining of the story

From the trailer at least

An aggregate of women are a part of society
