Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Okay ladies, this is the forum iwth the least posts. Because I spent so many years being a full time homemaker I thought it would be a hot forum. What do I know? Is it because we are a little older now, kids are older, and we are no longer the full time homemakers we may have once been? Should we do away with it? Thoughts please!

So...you may have hit the nail on the head? I know I spend more time at work or enjoying hobbies than I do homemaking, so to speak.

I can tell you that all 3 are not by choice. ha ha. I would LOVE to be able to have a few babies and stay at home while someone, presumably the man, is out making the money. I love the idea of "making a home" since I've never really done that before. My house is simply a pit stop between work schedules and a very large dog house for 4 dogs. I suppose that not having children or a husband has allowed me to put more energy into the writing, although I know that even if I did have kids, I would still write. Kelly L.

I wouldn't give up my family for anything, but they do make demands on my time beyond my outside job, that make it difficult to get any writing done. I'm just never satisfied, I guess. Once, when the kids were small, I wanted an outside job to feel fulfilled. Now, I wish I could stay home and write and do my art..to feel fulfilled. LOL. Someday, when I have retired, perhaps I will have the time and hopefully the energy to do the writing and art that I can only dream of doing now.
