I was taking a class recently from a well known designer--she is on the design team for a couple of companies, she teaches classes, writes articles, and sells her own creations from time to time online.


She started her introduction by saying "I'm a stay at home mom who also....." and then went on to describe what she does professionally.

< sigh, is your heart racing, are your hands shaking, are you going "oh, oh, oh, this IDIOT!"?


If so, i'd call that unstable.

it's like matter and anti-matter from the old Star Trek show -- sometimes I feel like I'm the anti-mom b/c I'm not terribly good at it... ;-)


but you'll notice that I was actually supporting Mallory when I made that post, not calling her anti mom oranything like that. I've enjoyed her posts in this thread and the way she engages in

 

Yes. We. Did.

Sorry, but I do not see how she is outside the "norm" of *parents*.

I can't tell you how many times my mother (a 4th grade teacher) has had children accidently call her mom at school.


My kids have done that.

I'll take it one step farther....I manage a huge family calendar schedule -- four kids, three of them in weekly activities -- almost something every day -- then throw in meetings for dh and myself....etc....


I've just become a Professional Scheduler/Chauffeur.
