I do think I am very fortunate to have the husband I have, but I will always do the career I want regardless of who I am married to, if you understand what I mean.<BR/>stupids will be stupids.<BR/><BR/>But I have to tell you that my close friends are very good to me and most of them are stay-home moms.They do not have maids and take good care of house and family. In fact they feed my family at every oportunity too. I am debted to them in this life and next.<BR/><BR/>All in all, don't even bother about the comments from uneducated mass like this, hurtful as it may (for me it has at times)<BR/><BR/>LOVE<BR/>Rhere it isgrevathi.blogsome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-5926086245045606632008-06-06T03:49:00.000-07:002008-06-06T03:49:00.000-07:00Those questions I mentioned... they have nothing to do with people being idle... they're just a narration of the evening...:-) of the things we have to face.Raagahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14736416344880614248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-35981432446968635282008-06-06T03:44:00.000-07:002008-06-06T03:44:00.000-07:00Busy-ness is a state of mind. Even if you don't have a 9-5 job, you can be busy with life. <BR/><BR/>And sometimes even people who have 9-5 jobs, are quite "jobless" and "idle". <BR/><BR/>It is a state of mind - lots of people who work too could make statements like this and vice versa! People just don't have that concept of personal space and privacy!Arundathihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09581276218386317347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-61107158956261037282008-06-06T03:39:00.000-07:002008-06-06T03:39:00.000-07:00@Arch: LOL... quite possible.<BR/><BR/>@~nm: doing sudoku and crosswords count as something... and your son must have been young enoughRaagahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14736416344880614248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-66474093714902923582008-06-06T03:22:00.000-07:002008-06-06T03:22:00.000-07:00Well, I have done what these women do i.e have cooks cooking for us and maids cleaning for us while I was home for 4 months at home. <BR/><BR/>Either I was in front of a TV or doing my sudoku or doing crosswords or blogging or talking on phone. And when I was not doing any of these things I was playing and spending time with my son. So you know its quite easy to not be doing anything especially for lazy bones like me :P~nmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483363042572158612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-72904155117003237492008-06-06T02:42:00.000-07:002008-06-06T02:42:00.000-07:00hi raaga..u know what they say about work expanding to fill the time available!!i guess it applies to supervision and just dressing for the day and deciding what to take to that boring potluck party which actually has 'WORKING' women! ;)Archhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04838156073399776598noreply@blogger.com
