Yeah, the more I hang around women, the more I realize they have a politics all their own.
When I was a working mom, they sneered at me for not spending more time with my kids, and for not baking cookies for class treats. When I was a stay-at-home mom, I was sneered at for being lazy, having all that luxury, and for 'showing us up', despite the fact that I most certainly didn't try to show anyone anything, let alone 'up.'
And I get my share of sneers cooking my own food, too. Ya just can't win.
