I want to thank everyone for the insightful, thoughtful and very personal responses that were shared to my comment yesterday evening. Reading through that thread again this morning I'm deeply touched, and once again so happy to be part of a group of people who are so sharing of their knowledge and experience. Thankyou very, very much 🥹
What I found fascinating was the amount of ladies on here that didn't necessarily fit into the mould of girly girl shit. My people. Girl power.
Don't fuck with the system if the system is working. I don't do yard work cos I'm pale and I burn easy and then I whinge. I'm best suited to inside work like reading and making cups of tea.
I come from a household where mum and dad both worked, both cooked, both did chores. I have 2 brothers and a sister. Nothing was ever boys or girls.
I could never imagine mothering my partner. It's equal or nothing.
