I loved dolls when I was little and loved having my children around. The time is past now when a woman is a homemaker. That idea is looked down on now...But, if you did it "right" it was a full time occupation that made life easier and better and more secure and ordered for everyone in the home. I never felt cheated.
I think children came out better raised by the person who loved them most in this world. Now people hand their babies over to someone they wouldn't trust with their car keys. That is sad to me.
There was time later to have a career.
Now I sound like an old woman. Guess I am and loving it.

Hey, I did the same thing--kids first, career later. I've never regretted it. They were both fun--the kids and the career. I don't know if either would have been as much fun if I had lumped them together.
I'm just grateful that jobs were plentiful back then and we could afford a good life on one salary. I feel sorry for the people who have no choice. it's a different financial situation today, and many have to work.
I also support those who want to work.
But back on topic, I kept the things I love and brought them to FL, and haven't regretted that either.
