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?

You're not the only one!! I just googled stay at home non mom to see what came up!! I am in your exact situation!! Down to the neighborhood full of kids and stay at home moms! I go back and forth with wanting to have kids. We did try and had a miscarriage so that didn't help matters! Today I decided to change my title instead of my circumstances. I am now a "stay at home crafter that cleans the house on the side"! Lol!
