this is my mum really, whilst i understand this is a dream and i donāt want to be negative, you donāt really have any clue how hard this lifestyle is tbh, sheās spent the last 30 devoted to looking after five kids, a smallholding and an old farmhouse with essentially no help (my dad worked really long hours and did what he could). sheās faced extreme scrutiny for ānot earning her own moneyā and ānot having a jobā. when my parents went away for a couple of weeks last summer me and my sister shared everything sheād do day to day and it really made me realise the amount of shit sheās juggling.
choc_orange Thank you for the anecdote, your mom must be a very diligent woman. Though I donāt think itās realistic to tell a stranger on the internet they have no clue about a subject based off a few sentences. My post may come off as naive because itās a dumbed down brief summary of what I really think about every day. My dream is not your motherās life, again thank you I know you were probably meaning to offer me some caution and insight<3
miamor yes of course! i probably couldāve worded it a little differently but i think it hit home for me (quite literally š) as iāve seen a lot of posts about a very romanticised and idealised housewife/famers wife lifestyle when i do know the reality and toll it can take on a person, i hope u get to live ur dream and wish u all the best attaining it š¤š¤
This is my dream I think too. I just started work recently and itās making me so sad. I just want to care for my loved ones and make art. But thatās not how life is !!!! Apparently!!!
valoorie Yes! Itās the artist archetype we have been both blessed and condemned with. I read your 2nd most recent post, I relate. Feels good to relate <3
