mother children caring
The most unacknowledged spending expectation among women is the amount of time spent by single mothers caring for children, not only physically, but psychologically.

None of those resonances and lovely echoes that break and chime from nerve to nerve in our breasts making wild music, false phrases. I have done with phrases. Virginia Woolf
