I am not a housewife. I made this clear one angry evening after my husband unhappily came home from work to a messy house, with dirty dishes cluttering the kitchen countertops and a pile of clothes that still needed washing. This doesn't mean that I don't try to perform these household tasks when I'm home and able, but make no mistake, I am no one's maid. I am, however, a stay-at-home mom. This might not seem like a grand declaration to many people, but it is for me. It took me many, many years to actually be OK with calling myself this. It took me even longer to be proud to say this, which is pretty sad, really....
