Why a women's forum?

[maillotpois]

Crankin, you're onto something very important about the atmosphere at TE.
It's not that we don't love our kids (I have two wonderful sons) but that we are actively trying to improve ourselves and not HIDING behind our kids to ignore our own lives. We all know women like that. Their own souls are obfuscated (OH I ALWAYS WANTED TO USE THAT WORD) by their kids.

I like this observation! As one of the few working moms in my daughter's class I feel a bit out of it all - don't even bring up the double centuries and the 600k brevet. It's weird enough that I run my own business and work all over the Bay Area up to 10 hour days. And I love my kid (and my husband). But I have a life, too, and I'm always working on making it better/more interesting.

And I agree with V on the 60 thing.
