She also offers this hard kernel of truth:

You will not get a weekend anymore.

I read these poems at the kitchen table after my daughter had gone to bed

"My partner never made the assumptions about who-should-do-what that some men make. But somehow that didn’t stop me from feeling like an unsung housewife." —Cheryl Klein on having too many jobs

It's weird writing this post because we are, of course, responding to the FB prompt "What's on your mind?" Funny you should ask! We are thinking about Megan Hanlon's essay-as-Facebook-posts. When infertility is on your mind, what do you share?

The little ad to the right says “Are you a mom?” No. And thanks for rubbing it in

“And how, then, do you let the baby know that you belong to her entirely when you see her mostly on weekends? By promising that she’ll never see you working at home, by vowing to meet the eyes that love you with love instead of turning them toward a screen. And then how do you do all the work that doesn’t fit into the fifty hours you’re away?” Excerpted from METTLEWORK: A MINING DAUGHTER ON MAKING HOME by Jessica E. Johnson
