Happily married 29 year old SAH mother of 3 (Mitten 9, Toot 2 and Pickle 8 months). I drive a mini-van and enjoy listening to gangster rap ironically. | |
“You know what I think?” she says. “That people’s memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive. Whether those memories have any actual importance or not, it doesn’t matter as far as the maintenance of life is concerned. They’re all just fuel. Advertising fillers in the newspaper, philosophy books, dirty pictures in a magazine, a bundle of ten-thousand-yen bills: when you feed ’em to the fire, they’re all just paper. The fire isn’t thinking, ‘Oh, this is Kant, or ‘Oh, this is the Yomiuri evening edition,’ or ‘Nice tits,’ while it burns. To the fire, they’re nothing but scraps of paper. It’s the exact same thing. Important memories, not-so-important memories, totally useless memories: there’s no distinction — they’re all just fuel.”

I am SO jealous! I want to SAH too!
I say if you can afford it, dooo it! I have enjoyed the past 3 years immensely. And I can honestly say, although I didn’t start staying home till she was 6ish, even my oldest has benefitted emotionally from it.
Mitten, Toot and Pickle – Lovely!
