Good day @minismallholding, what an honest and thought provoking article.
It is a real transitional time in every women's life. And it is not easy , besides the physical/hormonal changes in our bodies, but then empty nest syndrome creeps in and suddenly your crowded, busy home is quite.
Weird for a stay at home mom. I also stayed home, during the day, but worked 2nd or 3rd shift in health care as a radiographer part time, for many years.
Didn't get to see my hubby much, working all the time, but he always made it home in time to take over kid duty so I could work.
He and I are great partners...both retired now and living on our farm, a life long plan/dream of ours.
Don't ever underestimate how valuable time is, You my friend were lucky to have that time with your children. That was your career , you have so many skills, just tap into them, you may surprise yourself.
I totally agree with you..." an adaptation to what we need to survive moving forwards in a world that's likely never going to be quite the same as the one I grew up in."
Be well and have a blessed day.
I would love to retire to a homestead or small farm. I think it's more my dream than hubby's, though. I love that you both had the same dream.
Oh such kind words, we owned this farm for over forty years, and just lived here in the summer and came on Holiday breaks when the kids were out of school, as well as my husband, he was a teacher.
The place just grew on us, we liked the privacy and because we spent so my time here while we were still working, we knew the area and how to enjoy the country roads that lead to the stores and restaurants.
Our dream came true when we retired and moved here.
I am blessed.
