Just a mother poem.
by June Narber 19 Apr '02

19 Apr '02

All I can say about this poem is it was circulated to death in the Christian community last year, esp. the churches I'm affiliated with. While I understand its attraction to women who are mothers, I find it insulting against women who have spent half of their adult lives acquiring higher education and who work 40-70 hours a week in a professional career verses staying at home with children. I think we have to respect all kinds of women, but my current pet peve are stay at home mothers who think themselves superior to women who work full time in professional careers. Mothers are demanding respect and want esteem for what they do; yet the career woman faces continued backlash from not only men who resent here incredible career accomplishments, but from her own gender who I believe, resent what she represents: a challenge to the long held role of women: as mother and housekeeper. I am not a mother. I choose not to be. And frankly, I am no longer afraid to say publically, I am glad I am not a mother. I used to be so afraid to say what I really believe. I faced years of ridicule, discrimination, and outright persecution in all the Christian circles for being a career woman. So, whoever wrote that poem, quit trying to make what you do sound glamorous. It isn't. That why a lot of us are saying thanks but no thanks. -- ******************************************************* June Narber AKA June Narber Harrison jnarber(a)hercurian.com June's Natural Healing Path www.hercurian.com/juneshealingpath/index.htm Mailing address: 6325-9 Falls of Neuse Road, #193, Raleigh, NC 27615 Voice mail: (919) 839-6930 *********************************** Reflections, January 2002 "Cycles" *********************************** All things begin, therefore all things must end.

Sorry, forgot the link in the last one: Wanted to share some pics of a couple of my new dolls. The pic on the left is Heat Wave Alysa wearing Barbie's slightly modified "Chasing Daisies". The one on the right is the Silkstone Lingerie #3 with her hair down and straightened. Sorry, she's naked. I like the long straight black hair on here a lot! http://www.geocities.com/randall_90/dolls.jpg Randall

Re: O.T. Just A Mother? Excuse Me???

I hope you enjoy this. I think it has most likely been around a long time ago but perhaps full time mothers need reminding of their "title", :-)! Suzanne << .. I'm Just a Mother? Excuse Me??? A few months ago, when I was picking up the children at school, another mother I knew well rushed up to me. Emily was fuming with indignation. "Do you know what you and I are?" she demanded. Before I could answer (and I didn't really have one handy) she blurted out the reason for her question. It seemed she had just returned from renewing her driver's license at The County Clerk's office. When asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily had hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. "What I mean is," explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are you just a.....? "Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a mother." "We don't list 'mother' as an occupation...'housewife' covers it," said the recorder emphatically. I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high-sounding title like "Town Registrar" or "Official Interrogator." "And what is your occupation?" she probed. What made me say it, I do not know. The words simply popped out. "I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations." The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pompous pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. "Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in your field?" Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn't) in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm working for my Masters (the whole darned family) and already have four credits (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money." There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants - ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (6 months) in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt triumphant! I had scored a beat on bureaucracy and I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than "just another mother!" Motherhood...what a glorious career. Especially when there's a title on the door. >>

Re: CandiChat - O.T. New Eve Doll Info & Pics on Site
by SuzW397026＠aol.com 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

Good morning everyone! I haven't had the time to participate in much chat since returning from the doll show this past weekend, which, btw, was a lot of fun! This particular show is put on by the Metroplex Doll Club and they do a really good job with organization. They also keep an area of the room where they set up a display of member's dolls for the public to see and one can't help but admire the diversity of dolls on the tables. I have spoken with the Wakeen sales manager and found out there are some changes to the line. Three of the Eve dolls that were to be produced - Night At the Opera; Cocktails at 8 and Boston Bound have been cancelled and there are new dolls that have been announced. Their pics, eta and pricing are now on the site. They have also canceled the Basic Cassie dolls and will be offering the already announced Premiere Cassie and a new one called Window Shopping Cassie, whose pic is now on the site as well. The Cassie fashions have also been canceled because she will be able to wear Eve's clothing, even though she is shorter than the Eve dolls at just a smidge under 15". The edition size for all of the dolls is only 750 each style. Here is the direct link to the Eve page for your convenience if you would like to take a look: http://members.aol.com/dolldrms/eve.htm Thanks! Suzanne
