Anyone read "Raising Girls"?

[StealthPolarBear]

?

Thanks Belle and Stealth - as a FT working mum (or I was until I started my current mat leave), I have fairly strong views on women in the workplace - so maybe not the book for me (sorry to go a bit off topic BTW on your thread)

Lights kindling for self.

definitely not! not for me either, I'm a big believer in do what works for you as a family

I'm single parent working full time. DD was full time at nursery from 4 months... You can imagine how upsetting reading the comments in that book were.

My "choice" was go back to work and support us both (ie keep house, etc). It was bloody awful for the first 2.8 years. DD is 2.8 - sob! I still cry when I leave her some days - how bloody pathetic is that? And she loves her nursery the little traitor.

We all do the best we can really, don't we?

For sure BDSM.
A mother's place is in the wrong, someone on here said once.

Ooooh, I like that. I'll be adopting it forthwith!

"A mother's place is in the wrong"

that was me
Although I probably heard it somewhere else
Anyway, it's moved on now to teenagers and I'm a bit out of my depth now!
