No, I do not want endless glorification and thanks for every little thing that I do. But, my 14 yo KNOWS what I do every day and she knows how hard it is. And when my boys get older they will know it as well. Thanks for writing this! Very nice.Faerie Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11741412524412723632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681683532525639609.post-78551412473578444742008-05-23T21:11:00.000-07:002008-05-23T21:11:00.000-07:00Definitely agree. <BR/><BR/>Did you see the CNN video of the Chinese policewoman who breastfed up to 9 babies in the aftermath of the earthquake? <BR/><BR/>http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/05/22/china.breastfeed/index.html<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the clip; in fact it made me cry, but I have to say that I was a little disturbed at the end where it says her own 6 month old has been cared for by her inlaws in a different city during the crisis.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why it's more heroic of her to breastfeed other babies (esp. since they all looked older than 6 months) rather than her own. Just struck me as a little weird, and yet, didn't see any commentary on that aspect of the story.Jane @ What About Mom?http://www.blogger.com/profile/14842786356309158400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681683532525639609.post-1477020902619624522008-05-20T13:22:00.000-07:002008-05-20T13:22:00.000-07:00Thank youMcGinn familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11266621179433435211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681683532525639609.post-88720850436556030892008-05-20T12:17:00.000-07:002008-05-20T12:17:00.000-07:00I also don't wish to be invisible. I WANT them to realize that Thanksgiving dinner, should I ever prepare it myself, doesn't just "appear." The time invested in preparing for any family activity is often overlooked, but I am the first to point out that nothing in life just "happens." <BR/><BR/>I mean, somebody had BETTER pat me on the back occasionally, or I'll lose it. I really, really will... <BR/><BR/>:)Traceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.com
