I am a 32 year old wife of 12 years and mother of 3 beautiful daughters. Several years ago I read this book and was fascinated in the pride women used to take in keeping their house a home. Why can’t we embrace this art and see the beauty that it is? I was raised by a family of feminist women who wanted so much to be equal that many of them decided not to shave their armpit hair anymore. I never understood the contradiction they were pushing – “be proud to be a woman”…but act and look like a man whenever possible??? If you’re so proud of being a women, then shave your legs and armpits, put that pretty bow in your hair and embrace all that it is to be a woman.

Now, as I said I am the mother of three and I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mother for the last 5 years, but the economy is impossible now and I have no choice but to leave my children in order to put food in their mouths. I can’t keep my home the way I used to, it is a mess. I am ashamed of how we live now and I am worried about my children because when they come home they aren’t being embraced by the warmth I’ve spent the day creating, instead they are being rushed through the evening as I try to complete all of the same duties that I used to have all day to complete. I don’t understand how some women can call this “equal.” Our families are suffering for feminists and their silly pride (IMO far worst than a man’s pride anyday) and this IS what is going wrong with our country! Women were created to be mothers that is our GIFT – not our burden!

Comment on More things I remember when I was growing up… by Debbie Meyer

I learned how to type on the IBM Selectric in Mr. Fellabaum’s class! I loved that sound it made. Typewriters remind me of the movie “You’ve Got Mail”. Frank brings home a typewriter and he’s so excited about the whirring sound it makes and the punch of the keys. Kathleen (Meg Ryan) thinks he’s in love with his typewriter.
