The woman in that book struggled with the concept far less than I did two months ago when that fiction became my reality. Any hope I had for a return to full-time motherhood is laughable, as we begin to understand the path that I may attain in my career. The choice was simply whether to be a good parent, after that there was no choice: my hubby needs to stay home with our children.
The family dynamics when the dad is at home are foreign to us. We do not have a model to work with. I suspect, like most things, there are many books and even movies we could find on the subject. In the meantime we are floating in peculiar and inviting waters... And I guess I'm on the lookout for a shark.
