I guess there are a million ways to feel inadequate!

Sometimes thats all a person wants out of life. It doesn't make it wrong or right, it just makes it what you want to do. Just like your other friends who want something along with being a mom. Its all personal choices.<BR/>However, and this is just my observation, the women I know (and I only know 4 who fit this description of soley being a mom/SAHM) are all depressed/on meds for depression and have issues with weight. Actually, 3 of the 4 are on meds for depression and 4 of 4 have weight issues and multiple children. And 4 of 4 all have been moms longer than any previous jobs and 4 of 4 never had careers. I'm doing the math here and it scares me... I'm a mom and I work full time and work out 3x a week and I feel pretty good. I was always afraid of that "equation" described above, but I think I'm doing ok with my choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492235271719843771.post-84754841188013220432007-06-05T11:25:00.000-05:002007-06-05T11:25:00.000-05:00Oh, yeah.

Friends I thought would be long-term "at home" moms are suddenly taking jobs, running marathons, etc. I find myself adding on reasons to justify my choice ("my husband travels a lot," "the youngest kid gets ear infections every three weeks," etc.). Perhaps one day I will attempt a fitness routine, but I'm standing firm on the no-paying-jobs platform.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
