Welcome bookwormer! Finding this forum really is an awesome thing because it just reminds you to stand up for yourself and what you really want. Venting here has saved my sanity many times.
About the hens who talk about nothing but their offspring, I have a theory on that. I've noticed that a lot of people (not EVERYONE, but seemingly a lot) use their kids as justification for their purpose. It's sad when I see women whose entire lives revolve around their children and they're lost when they leave the nest. It also seems like an excuse to not better yourself. My sister is guilty of this; she keeps trying to get pregnant so that she'll have an excuse not to hold a real job (even though they are financially unstable). She thinks if she says she has a baby, that's her free pass to stay at home the rest of her life. Not like she doesn't do that now (she sleeps 12 hours a day and watches Golden Girls, that's it), but I digress... :)
The point is, welcome. Vent here all you need. Share funny stories. This forum always makes my day!
