Stop giving our jobs away!Boo, QLD18 CommentsPost commentView comments Unhappy housewifeTrue Confessions Agony Aunt: My husband and kids take me for grantedAh women attacking women yet again. So much for the sisterhood. I am a stay at home Mum. I do not "bludge" off my husband. I manage the house, the meals, the money and everyone's schedules. I do not have a "clock off" time. But I do have break times. When my son is at school and my baby boy is asleep I can put my feet up, read a book etc. I do make time for myself and yes I do complain sometimes especially when I am tired. My husband also comes home from work and complains about his job sometimes. Everybody has a right to have a bit of a whinge regardless of the choices they made in life. I love my role and despite some complaints from me there are also many rich rewards. I have not missed a moment of my baby's life so far, I get to help my older boy with his homework and be involved with his life. If you feel unappreciated speak up. I do if I feel I am being taken for granted. Your job is so important and you desrve some respect even if you don't bring in a wage.Ads, Vermont Vic16 CommentsPost commentView comments Nicole Kidman's panic: I've lost my baby girlNicole Kidman's panic: I've lost my baby girlIts a shame there are so many misconceptions about Scientology. Perhaps some want it that way. I have been in it for may years on and get annoyed by the stuff written about it. The media like to sell their magazines by creating controversy about the religion and the celebs that belong to it. One also wonders if vested interests who want to put Scientology out of business because of its genuine stance against pharmaceutical drugging of kids and abuse of human rights might be financing some of these attacks. Scientology is about spiritual awareness. Something that I feel this society is short of. Especially when a society seems to be rife with magazines full of gosip based not nessecarily on fact but what someone thinks people want to hear. Good luck to the happy couple and if it doesnt work out then good luck to both of them anyway.
