Do Muffins Fulfill? A question for SAHMs-whose-children-are-out-of-the-home

[morningpaper]

Dear SAHMs-whose-children-are-out-of-the-home; (including nusery education - I have some friends whose 2-3 yos are now starting nursery from 9-3):

I would be very interested to know what you do during your time at home and how that leads to you living a life that you feel is fulfilling.

(Words kindly provided by Soapbox! )

This is quite a serious question, which I don't think has been answered. I am genuinely interested in your thoughts on this, as this is an option that lots of you have chosen, which is surprising to me in the light of the recent thread about how unfulfilling many people found staying at home.

(Suggestions for re-wording of the question will be given due consideration and I reserve the right to apologise at a later time if I find I have worded this offensively.)

(If you think this is none of my business to ask, then please move back to the cheese thread, rather than posting "It's none of your business!" which is obviously the case, but I am still genuinely curious.)

wordsmith,fair point,but I think there are also loads of 'working' people of both sexes who are...uninterested in the world at large.

Kylie? Breast cancer? I don't know this,as the only thing I make a massive point of Not knowing is 'celebrity gossip'. Blleeeearghhh!!!

(I was also taking the piss out of myself rather with the soil erosion comment..)

hehe moondog I SUSPECT you haven't read ANY papers for at least three days as that's made the front page of all of 'em...

(But have you see Sadam Hassain's underpants yet?)

[moondog]

mp..am happy to report that the online Telegraph made no mention,at least on the days I read it (although I am so contrary that as soon as I see a picture of Ms Minogue and her ilk,my pavlovian response is to look away very fast.)

I am considering a trip over the border very soon so who knows re the underpants??!

Morningpaper - I just had a thought - when I was your age I was single and living in London, partying hard, with absolutely no intention of ever having children.

no wonder we don't have the same outlook

[morningpaper]

hehe lima five years ago I was doing exactly that!

I only heard about Kylie on Mumsnet!
