Good for you! I think it’s so important to have an identity other than ‘mommy.” That’s why I need to work part-time. And we need to think of a snappy response to people who say “Oh, you’re just a mommy,” like “That’s right. I’m a professional babysitter, housecleaner, chef, organizer, caregiver and head of household.”

Woo hoo! So happy for you! I’m a mom to two daughters just like you and I think that our ability to maintain an identity as a (insert whatever your passions/career/interests are here) as well as a mom is so important – we are role models for our girls after all.

Awesome for you! And yes, you have every right and need to be defined for yourself rather than because of your identity as (by the way) wife and mother.
