answer:Yes, I do. I believe work is work and the average “housewife” is worth her weight in gold, although she will never be realized for that. lol I was a stay at home mom til my daughter was in Jr. High, 6th grade I think when I went back to “work.” Heh, going to work was far easier than staying home. I felt a tremendous amount of pressure to “prove” my worth and pushed myself really hard to be recognized as having value with my very success oriented husband at the time. I kept an immaculate house, did all the gardening and most of the heavy yard work, taught a youth group in my home, cared for a mini ranch full of animals, volunteered for several other organizations. Shit…going back to “work” was a fucking VACATION to me!
