This topic "piggybacks" on the priorities topic where we discussed what we gave up as working women and moms, what do you think our children give up...honestly!? What do you think they gain? Also please mention your own mothers status and your experience of a child as a SAH or WOH.

<<Is he already in 1st grade and is aware of what others do for holidays? >>


Why does a child have to be in 1st grade to be aware of this?

Me too? What's the big deal? A lot of people don't even acknowledge the holiday. Some of the churches around here have Reformation Day celebrations instead, and my kids have occasionally chosen a Reformation Day celebration instead of trick or treating. Big whoop.

This is a good time for me to not only agree, but to say that most artist's aren't doing their art for others, but for themselves. It's about their own expectations, not those of a customer, client or the general public. Many artists are much harder on themselves than an outsider would be. They set very high standards for themselves.
