Comment on Is it okay to tell your employer to f-off? by Roxanne

I’m a teacher. I stayed home for two years with my daughter, went back to work for one year part-time, then stayed home three years with my daughter and my son. I had to go back to work when he was three as hubs is a teacher as well. We had managed to dig ourselves a rather deep financial hole knowing that when I went back to work, we could dig ourselves back out quickly.

My son began going to “school” full-time when he was three. I cried and cried, then I just pushed it to the fringes of my mind (which is probably why the hair at my temples is growing whiter by the day.)

All that to say, he is FINE–wonderful in fact. He blossomed under the care of the little Methodist and Lutheran ladies who looked after him as he attended their full-time Mother’s Day Out programs and transition classes. He is loving and kind and well-mannered and not at all scarred even in the least.

So soak up your moments at home–and take the job–and the help from your son’s grandmothers. Don’t beat yourself up.

This is my second comment on your blog tonight–one of your entries was at the bottom of a friend’s blog as “similar articles” or something like that.

I like the name of your blog. It may mean something different to you than it does to me, but at nearly 39 with two children, 15 years of marriage, 16 years of teaching, and working on building our second new house, I STILL feel like I’m a girl.

Well, its now obvious to me that we are related since we have the same mother. I also had it out with her 2 months ago and she has been trying and I appreciate it and I won’t thank her. To be honest, she wouldn’t thank me either if the situation was reversed, so screw it.

My FIL told me I still looked pregnant a week after I had the twins.

My MIL has never spoken to me on the phone. We have been together 6 years.

I’m loving this new blog of yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
