But I've always kind of wondered if I would fall into a similar pattern/trap (parent trap?)if I were to ever raise kids.<br />I've seen the feminist ideals of friends do an about face once their own kids entered the picture.Peter Varvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521795044554538286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-81213040934400628932010-01-20T11:37:28.800-08:002010-01-20T11:37:28.800-08:00You'd be amazed what people can get paid for. ...You'd be amazed what people can get paid for.
