This is a question that adults often ask one another when they meet…what do you do?? Some people take great pride in their answer to that question; and some become a little stressed when it is asked. What do you think a topless dancer would say? I am an entertainer? Or would she just answer you directly?
Tammy feels a great deal of discomfort when this is asked of her. She was a social worker for TWENTY years and has been a full-time parent for the last 3; caring for our children. She does a wonderful job and as much as I love my kids; there is absolutely no way that I could stay home full-time. Anyway; she never knows how to answer…can she say that she is a “housewife?” Can she say that she is a “domestic goddess?” I don’t think that either really fits J One place that this really bothers her is at the doctor’s office. When she says that she stays home with the kids, the answer is “oh.” She says that she feels fine with herself; being a full-time parent, until someone asks that question. Then she feels like she needs to go get a job.
And Dear Mr. President…you have not protected “our type of family” like you promised that you would….universal health care is a great big joke…Tammy cannot go on my insurance; so we are paying Cobra premiums just to keep her insured…..And if I killed over tomorrow, she wouldn’t draw my social security….these are all risks that we take; being a same-sex couple with children where we have decided for one of us to be home full-time.
Well, my girl will soon be able to say that she is a college student. I am happy to say that she is returning to school in January to pursue the degree that she really always wanted: agriculture J
