You are so right about us losing our identity when we become mothers! I had a great career as a CPA and was married for 8 years before we had our first child. As soon as Brooke arrived in 2001, and I decided to stay at home with her (work at home mind you) the people around me perceived me as not being a career person anymore, but a mommy sitting around watching Oprah and playing with my kids all day. I wish I could relax that much and do that. But like you, I did have a LIFE before kids and that is still in my heart and soul. Even my husband forgets that, yes, I have a brain too!! But he’s coming around!!

Thanks for this site and for recognizing that we are people to with our OWN IDENTITIES!!!
