donatella,

It was just another childhood anecdote in response to your story about running wild with a pack of kids without adult supervision.

…adult supervision is over-rated.

“of course you can have both of two worlds and be happy”

Thing is, for people like me, perfectionist types, I don’t know if that’s true.

A hootenanny is a sing-song get-together (usually country or folk music but really anything.)

That’s what I thought — I don’t want to be a half-assed mom and have a half-assed career.

like that whiney preggo lady who is suing goldman sachs?
NEWSFLASH! not EVERYONE can be a SUPER MOM and a high powered SUPER CAREER! in fact, it’s not possible for 99.9 % of the population. (by super career i mean one of those crazy people jobs that pay millions of dollars but you gotta work 80 hours a week). of course you can have both of two worlds and be happy, but certain jobs, sorry, your mommy status is a detriment to you, your kids, your husband, your clients, and your coworkers. mommyhood is NOT a protected class, despite what many men and stay at home dags might want you to think.

Thanks, Bx, that was sweet. I thought Jews don’t believe in heaven though?
