Relationships & Family > Family Life The feelings of guilt of a stay at home mom

3 of 28

When I first became a mother, there was absolutely no choice but for me to work. My husband wasn't working consistently, and the money he did bring in was often spent on un-necessary items. My income was the only consistent source of support, as well as the insurance benefits, for the entire family. When my marriage ended, I ... More..

Diary of a Stay at Home MomSomeone, actually many people, has told me that to be a good writer, you have to write about what you know. Many times, I have tried to sit down and figure out what it is, exactly, that I know. I've determined this.I know how to make a pretty darned good pb&j, I know what time my son's favorite show...

15 of 19

I can't honestly remember who first explained sex to me. I know it wasn't my parents though. By the time I came home from school at the age of 13, to find a cartoon book on my bed, I was already completely informed. The book did make me laugh though.

Relationships & Family > Married Life Common marriage myths

48 of 54

I don't know about little boys since I never was one, but growing up I dreamed about my marriage. Well, to be fair, I probably dreamed about my wedding more than the marriage. The actual life after the wedding didn't enter my mind much until I was already half way into planning my first wedding. Just as clue, that's not the b... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood The pros and cons of being a stay-at-home dad

10 of 10

As young adults, we have this image of what our life will be like. We will go to college, or maybe we won't. We will get a job, find the partner of our dreams, get married and have children. Life will be blissful, just like the Cleaver's or the Brady's, the whole white picket fence dream. It rarely works out quite that way, a... More..
