watched oprah today, very on target with anyone in the beginning or middle of raising kids. they talked of "losing" themselves, who are they now and where did their old life go. think it's confusing after 5 yrs or under??? what about trying 20-30 yrs of the term "mom" being your identity, and then poof!!!!! you did your job well as ceo of home and they are independent. the house suddenly "down-sized" and your job was cut. try "re-inventing" yourself without using any of the terms associated with mom duties. anyone relate????

This is why I'm never letting my identity completely depend on my "job." Just because you are a mom doesn't mean you should let "mom" become all that you are. Get a hobby or something to occupy your time.
