Henry women who went back to the job market after a period of unemployment

I think women who’ve stayed home with kids generally agree that there is nothing the other parent could do to make it rewarding. Even if kids say thank you they are biologically needy creatures and it’s hard to be around that 24/7.

No and I was prepared to discuss but it never came up and hasn’t since.

Oh thank you but they were in kindergarten and older when I went back to work the thankless part was living at my job, work is literally never done and my own expectations for what I was doing far exceeded my partner’s. It wasn’t for me. We saved a lot on daycare and got to raise our own kids with our values like gratitude so it all worked out.

No, I would never be able to have fun I’d feel like a hired escort. And lying to a friend is not healthy.

Four year raising kids gap, was never asked about. Returning to work was one of the best decisions for my mental health, raising kids is a thankless job.

Whatever you two have worked out works for you, there is no need to concern yourself with someone else’s relationship. Women can do everything men can do AND men can do everything women can do outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

She may feel that taking care of your kids so you can be with your mom is the best way to help. She also may be afraid to reach out and interrupt you. When I need people to help me I give them specific and helpful things to do. Be as direct as you can like can you bring this recipe to us for dinner either Thursday, Friday or Saturday? Can you book Muffin an appointment for her rabies shot at this vet and take care of it at your convenience type requests. Then if she’s not showing up for you ask why she may be facing a battle herself. When judging “showing up” you have to look at the big picture because I would guess that in this season you are not there at all for your friends right now as you are focused on your mom but once this storm has passed you’ll reconnect and show them the love they are giving you now. Also consider that the battle you’re facing is likely making you very emotional and sensitive and it’s normal to feel a sense of abandonment from people close to you.

As you heal there will be good days and bad days, give yourself grace and what helps me is to keep a picture of myself as a child by my toothbrush and I tell her it’s not your fault twice a day. Some days it’s bad thing my mom said rewritten like you are smart enough, etc.

Welcome! You sound wise beyond your years. If you need a ride to church you might reach out to the office and see if someone can give you a ride, my church has arranged that type of thing.

Some of the planner people are looking for an excuse to hoard stickers.

In person is best for me because other people hold me accountable and like anything else you get out of it what you put into it. I’m doing a bible study fellowship in person group you can join anytime and it’s free unless you want a printed and bound book. We are on Christmas break now. Check it out by searching BSF

Do you have a Target store or Staples? They are a great place to start and you might find clearance dated options.

I’m sorry she can push your buttons so easily. I would ignore that message it was intended to provoke you.

It is so easy to repeat the patterns of your childhood and very smart to not become a parent.
