| been turned down for the job 
I'm devastated. Although it was a shitty little job, it still made me realise how much I hate being a housewife.
I don't know how all my neighbours, happy Swiss housewives, can cope with it and actually enjoy it. If this was a woman's fate, why send them to school at all? Well, I suppose it helps if they can read recipes and knitting instructions.
Note to moderator: Maybe this thread should be moved to the complaints corner now. I certainly could complain about it all day. | |

A balance would be perfect - I'm at the other end of the scale. I work 100% and go mad from not being able to spend time with my son and get all the stuff done in the house (looks like a bomb has gone off usually, plus there is a pile of ironing which is beginning to scare me).
I aim to drop to 60-80% in the New Year which should take some of the pressure off me at home while keeping my foot in the door of the working world.
Don't beat yourself up about not getting the job; just keep your eyes and ears open for another opportunity. In the meantime, enjoy your kids and think of me and my frantic mornings struggling with a 2-mins-before-we-leave-the-house pooey nappy.
