I live in a neighborhood infested with children and stay-at-home moms. Every woman in her 30's has at least 1, most have 2 and some have several children. All of us have one thing in common. We don't work outside the home, but these woman work hard taking care of their children all day. It would be easier for them to go to work and send their children to daycare each day. I know if I had a child I would need to get a job. I can't think of anything more difficult than staying home with children all day. I guess the other option would be to send the child to daycare and not to get a job. I would probably opt for that.
I feel like there is noone else in my situation. Why do all woman seem to want babies. Or is it just the woman that live in my neighborhood? I think I'm missing the maternal gene. I am maternal when it comes to taking care of my dog, but he isn't all consuming. He can be left alone during the day. He doesn't need my constant attention.
The childless women I know all have jobs, the woman that don't have jobs all have children, and all of the other woman have a child or children and a job! Is there another woman that doesn't have a job or a child out there? Am I the only one?

Facebook is my new addiction. My husband went out of town for 2 days and for 2 days I sat on my sofa and did nothing but search for old friends and edit my profile. I would feel too guilty doing this when he was home; I would have at least made it to yoga class.
My husband is such a type A personality and I'm so type C. I use to be a B, but after marrying an extreme A it's like he does more than enough for both of us and for several other people as well. So I can take a time out and sit back and relax (I've read that most people can't do this) and know that I may not be making a difference, but my husband is. This gives me great satisfaction and fulfillment to know that he does his part so well it makes up for my lack of having a part.
This doesn't mean that I'll never have a part. I know some day I will, but until that some day comes I can sit peacefully on my sofa logged into Facebook all day.
