betty diapers linda nor sizes sure women work
I'm pretty sure that changing diapers of all sizes isn't the kind of women's work Betty Friedan had in mind, nor Linda Hirshman.
kids public
I'm a journalist, so my friends are journalists: magazines, newspapers, even public radio. Nobody had their kids in public school.
blissfully
I think of the friends of mine who were blissfully single in their 20s and 30s. Still single in their 40s and 50s, they seem to be contracting a bit.
daughters family longtime stable
I cohabited for 20 years with my longtime husband and father of my two now-teen daughters in a stable family household.

I am a member of the 'sandwich' generation, that group that must simultaneously care for elderly parents and support children.

I am a longtime, rabid fan of Jonathan Kozol.

I agree that mommy wars are not good for any mothers: that such wars are time and effort wasted.

blown flaming followed gently glowing less love marriage tend tracks train traumatic via
Having blown up my own long-term marriage via an extramarital affair, followed by a traumatic divorce, I tend to think of love as less a gently glowing hearth than a set of flaming train tracks you strap yourself onto.
advice depressed drink eat literature lots medical
The literature of menopause is the saddest, the most awful, and the most medical of all genres. You're sleepless, you're anxious, you're fat, you're depressed - and the advice is always the same: take more walks, eat some kale, and drink lots of water. It didn't help.
amazing build children fun ipod listening lone music together
I think live music is really, really important. And I think it's very important to do together. It's much more fun to play to music together than the one person listening to their lone iPod Shuffle. I think it's an amazing way to build community and have children do things that are funded that's not a videogame.
