I have been thinking lately that our little group of folks with the daddies staying home have some unique challenges, benefits, and frustrations. I have been thinking that it would be nice to have a special place for those of us in this particular situation to chat about our issues.
I kind of envision it to be a place where the mommies can talk about work/life balance, career issues, mommy-guilt issues, how to respond to stupid comments and questions, get good ideas for REALLY divying up the housework, what our real experiences are. I'm not sure if we want to open the group up to include the daddies too... on the one hand, if you need to complain, it would be nice to just be able to let it out. On the other hand, it might be good to get a daddy's perspective on some issues.
I'm not sure if anyone is interested in this. If so, respond here or email me at peanut4us3 at yahoo.com
Update: I went ahead and made the group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bbbsahdmommies
Go there and click the Join this group button. If your yahoo groups id is nothing like your bbb id here... please send me a note telling me that. I would just like to "know" who is in the group. I've left the membership restricted, but I have left the group listed, so it's easier for you folks to find.
I hope we get some good turn out. I know that I have talked to at least a half dozen of us on these boards who have SAHD in the home. If no one is interested, I can always delete the group later.
