A kept woman..

article image placeholderUploaded by @smallramblings
I don't get the notion that because we don't want to work, that means we don't want better for ourselves. I think that we all deserve a life that is soft, a life of luxury, a life of peace. And that is not to say that relationships don't end and that couldn't go away like yada, yada. I'm talking big picture. I'm not talking about the details

Who says because you want to live a slow, soft, and luxurious life, that it means you don't want "better" for yourself?

Hello. Hi. I just want to reply to your swell about the kept woman. Okay? Come on, baby. I just want to let everyone know that a kept woman is completely different from a stay at home wife and stay at home mom. A kept woman does not lift a finger. Like you said, she stands there and she's a statue. She's just there to look pretty. Okay, that's it. She will not lift a finger

Jay, I must say, I do like the distinction you've made between them because it really puts it in perspective and gives for a clearer understanding. And it's actually quite laughable when you hear those distinctions. But then people want what they want, and there would still be people who would still want it regardless way

And if any woman tell you I don't want to be a stay, I would never want to. I'm going to tell you now that they're lying. It's nothing like being with your child every day and watching them grow and

They want to do other things outside the reach of the home. They have other visions. They have all the goals. They have all the drives. And we all grew up in different environments, come from different backgrounds. We have different perspectives, and it all comes down to being content. And I think you have found, in some way your contentment with this. And it's been lovely for you for a year

I have an adult son, and he just moved back home last year to help me because my husband took a job that took him away, out of town. I didn't see him till September. So last year I was really going through it. So if you would have asked me this last year, this swell probably would have been 2 hours long. But everything has gotten 100% better since then because now I have the extra help

I'm sure you might look back in certain moments because you've triumphed through that. I'm sure you look back and you can even break a smile or laugh about those moments, but you were triumphant and you conquered those hard times in your life. And as much as all of that happened, I'm. I'm sure even in those moments, there were. There were times you would. You would appear appreciative for what you had and you would smile

You. I want to thank you. Thank you very much. And nobody actually asked that question that you asked. If I look back on last year, could I change anything that happened? No. But could I look back on it and laugh a couple things? Yes, I. But I knew once a certain months hit, things would disappear. And I'm feeling like this year will be even better than last year. I'm praying that it does. And thank you for listening. Bye

I would want to be able to just pour into motherhood and just be a mom, um, and work, because it's a passion project, not because I have to. Or don't let my kids be at school all day and sit and watch shows, you know, that kind of thing
