Re: How much is a homemaker worth?
Well, not much I can say if you feel like a dumb person. For those of us who are used to it and are also good at time management and multi-tasking, it can become mind numbing when you don’t get a chance to have a decent convo, or read or book, or whatever.
Heh, I remember when I was I dunno, 8 or 9, I needed my mum to write me a note for school and it took her so long and she had forgotten how to spell words. I thought maybe she just wasn’t that educated. Then in my teens, I found her O level folders… she had impeccable writing, her english was way better than mine, I also realised O levels were way more advanced than our GCSEs. That is what motherhood and cooking all day long had done to her. Now we’re all grown up she’s taken courses to try and remember what she had once known. Can’t imagine how she must have felt all those years.
I remember experiencing temporary loss of memory right after childbirth and even now my memory isn’t as good as it used to be. But having said that, I’ve read and learned a lot in all these past years of motherhood.
