I am not one of those aunties that you see outside the school.
Precisely, that's why I read widely and try my best to keep up.
Didn't u read what I wrote, that I try to discuss current affairs
with my husband but he is the one not UPDATING himself. I attend
seminars on health, financial, educational and social issues. If my
husband is available, he comes along, if not I go alone. Even then,
he does not want to discuss anything after the talks. Certain
issues, you need to state your stand. Also, a person can never be
the same after 15 years. Everyone changes, even after a year. We
grow mature, or interests and opinions change after each major life
experience that we encounter. I also make sure that I look
presentable enough, as I still have to attend the occasional annual
company dinner with him. So...
About work, I know some of my girl friends work because their
husbands are not earning enough. They are so stressed out, and
their kids are having problems in school. This solution works only
for those who have very good family support and close relationships
with the in-laws or grandmothers. A girl friend told me her life is
so meaningless, work, work, work, then come home housework,
housework, housework. There is even less time and energy for the
couple.
