Yes! I started writing a thing about the burden experienced by kids who know they are their mother's full-time job and raison d'etre. You can't just go home and go to your room and do your own thing when she's not seen anyone all day and been home waiting for you. https://twitter.com/SeidorfJ/status/938003128405954562 …

Strange relationship to a mother if one feels it is a burden, actually, strange that a mother would make their kids feel like that. Is it common?

I and all my friends and almost all acquaintances grew up with stay-at-home moms and I never heard of that phenomenon.

But did you mother have an outside life or was she expected to be at home and focused on you 24/7? Some women are naturally fulfilled by domestic stuff and the company of children but most of us need more.

You were talking about children, so I talked about children. Then you started talking about children. OK. I think that a significant number of mothers are better off working outside the home. I think almost all children are worse off.

Maybe it really was hell for our mothers. Maybe it was like some Marilyn French novel. But if it was, then we children at least were oblivious to that.

Maybe some mothers allow their children to be. Others are very needy, Mine was just an extrovert and needed to be talking to someone. As an introvert, that was very hard to take.
