Respect
I often wonder what other people think of me. I know I shouldn’t care - but I do wonder. I think that many people think I am an unemployable layabout who won’t work - or who must be long term sick. Maybe they don’t think that at all. I have a degree and a postgrad diploma (not that those make me any better) - I can design web sites and set them up, I can write complex computer programs (haven’t for a couple of years though) . I got fed up of the daily job , the boredom, the stress. I keep meaning to start promoting my web design skills to local businesses - but never seem to make the time for it. No one thinks that a stay at home mother is a layabout - but it’s different for men. My mother in law recently said that i must be sitting on my backside all day long - she was brave enough to say it - what others probably think. I don’t really care .
