Mummy Trouble

Well I finally found out what all the hullabaloo was about from last week. Apparently the Daughters of the American Revolution have now split into two factions, those that are stay at home mums and those that want to go back to work.

Each group looks down on the other. One Go Back told me that the Stay at Homes are 1950s throwbacks, all Laura Ashley prints and Boden wellies who have excess body hair and smell of vanilla pods, spend time teaching their children to sing happy birthday in Cantonese and have all the go getting drive and ambition of a stay at home dad. Bit uncalled for that last comment I thought.

The Stay at Home view as told to me is that the Go Backs are self obsessed pop and go Epilady using breast milk expressing child abusers. Who is right and who is wrong I cannot and dare not say, they get nasty round here. If I take sides I could get a Filipino nanny thrown through my car window or a freshly baked cup cake lodged where the sun dont shine. All very unpleasant.

But it has got me thinking. Should I go back to work? I have always been upwardly mobile. I used to live in a valley and I now live on a mountain.Surely at the age of fortycough I still have something to offer. Of course it would mean the end of this blog.

What do you think? Basically this is just a desperate cry for attention. Other blogs get loads of comments. Is there anybody out there actually reading this? If you are wont you please write something in the comments section of this blog. Anything, email, female, male mail,hate mail,blackmail or Rik Mayall I don`t care. I also welcome stalkers. Time for a dry sherry I think.
