We can start a thread with a certain book to read and then in a month (we also decide on the date) we discuss it...how about that? The thing is where can we find a book that most of us haven't read yet? :-)

Thanks again! Wouldn't say otherwise [b'>[/b'>Argh, I hate it when other people, specially women, want you to be oh-so-happy about being a mother and never ever have a bad moment. And if you do, you are just pure evil, arent you? :/ One can't ALWAYS be happy, about anything, be it work, motherhood, relationships, or whatever! We have both good times and bad. And as snugs said, we should be nice to each other, and offer support and kindness, be it on 'the world wide webby' or to some one close to you. And if you dont have any kind words to offer, better keep them to yourself then :/

@ safa: why can't we just have the best of both worlds? Memories of our careers or whatever job we choose and memories of our kids' childhoods?

That's the problem: you guide them. Guiding them took all your life that you forgot to guide yourself to what you want to achieve for yourself. well, it [i'>is[/i'> an achievement, but a grossly undervalued one... even we undervalue it. I feel very proud when people comment on my children, but as a parent, you only guide them - they are their own people, just as you are yourself... and just as others shouldn't define children by their parents, I really can't let myself be defined by my children (that makes sense in my head!). You were you before you had children and have continued to be - it's up to you to find ways of realising that. Being a SAHM is a job. Think of it that way.
