Thank you for the article! It's so true, and the crazy part is that it's so simple. Yet we are still struggling to make it clear, to be understood, heard, and seen.
I'm a stay at home mum and I homeschool my kids, so the stay at home part is going to stay a big part of my identity for a while. I love it, but it's easy to feel like I'm less valuable than someone who works. At family gatherings, people ask each other how work is going. They ask me how the kids are doing. I'm invisible.
Fortunately I don't care too much. I have a lot of interests outside of being a mum and I feel happy with the things I am achieving (even if they're unrecognised)
I wish more people chose to have kids, because it is the biggest joy in my life. But I can also understand why they wouldn't want to.
