Your comments seem like you are defending your life choices rather than contributing to the conversation. You commented here before saying the same things that you don't want to be poor, you love your mani and pedis, your trips, etc. No one here called you out saying retired navy wife should be a stay at home wife. It sounds to me like either you are full of yourself, enjoy showing how selfish and entitled you are or you are seriously trying to convince yourself that you want the lifestyle you live. I don't feel the need to defend life decisions by going on a feminist forum. Perhaps you should reconsider why you comment here because it doesn't seem to be to encourage those that do consider being homemakers our life calling.

Agreed Lori. I also want to thank you for sharing Laine with others. I was on her mailing list years ago and so miss her words if wisdom.
