My daughter moved to the woods in PA as she calls it. We insisted they get a home alarm system. In this day and age no where is safe any more, pitiful and scarey moreso, but true.
I’m also anti-working mothers I guess having not been one myself, part of the decay of society I think, that and when they dropped the dress codes in school. My mother was home when I came home from school, before the surge of working mothers started.
I just read this and now I am crying and want to throw up. My Emily is almost 11 and looks like this Emily, sweet kid. I would never leave my Emily home alone, I would quit my job first, but I also have the luxury of knowing my employers would understand and not fire me for it. I wish I could stay home with Emily instead of work. I wish I could be there when she comes home from school. But I can’t or Emily would not have a home. Try to have some compassion for us working women. I would be willing to bet that most of us work because we have to, not because of some lofty career goals that feminists said we should have.
