Staying at home a choice??
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 6:46am |
The author of this article thinks most mothers go to work because they want to, not because they have to.
"Most parents from two-parent families today do have a choice when it comes to parental care. They can try and talk themselves into believing they don't, but it really boils down to priorities."

Does anyone (other than her) really believe this? I don't know of anyone among my friends who works who wouldn't rather be staying at home with their children. But they don't have the choice!

Why would I have to wear a SUIT? to formal parties, weddings etc I have some fabulous LBDs that I wear, a great collection of short skirts that I can dress up or dress downm, pair of flowy palazzo pants that are heaven on earth and one terrific pair of strappy little sandals.
I would rather suffocate than wear a suit. I do have one really funky red jacket I thrown on over my black on show nights and other occassions. And I have a rotation of dressy tops I pair with my 3 different pairs of black pants on show nights as well but a suit?? no way ma'am.
Yes. We. Did.

I no longer own a suit. I used to own several, and when I was a lowly assistant professor going to conferences trying to impress the Powers That Were in my field, I would always give papers in a suit. Then I noticed than in my field, the more established you were in the profession, the more you were able to get away with a more relaxed look. I'm all about relaxed!
I've never in my life worn a suit to a wedding or a party!
Little Black Dresses.
This is CONCORD New Hampshire. Black tie events are fairly few and far between trust me... as in non existent... I think the Governor's inaugural ball is about it frankly.
I do have a 'creative black tie' event to go to tomorrow night and I contemplated renting a men's tuxedo but I just looked like a big dkyey waiter so I got a gorgeous dressy white tank top with a sheer white jackety thing to wear over it and am pairing that with the afforementioned palazzo pants and strappy sandals and some leftover sparkly jewelery I wore when i played Kate in "Kiss me Kate" LOL
