Kadiera's Playground Cute but Evil - it averages out

I wrote a piece a while back on how I'm a bad Pagan.

Apparently I need to add to this list again.

Today I got told that I'm a bad Pagan because I'm not planning to be a stay at home mommy. I've now been informed that, regardless of the reasons one might choose to do otherwise, mothers should give up all aspects of their pre-child life because it's the most natural thing to do.

I question this on general principles. Women have always done what was necessary - I suspect even in the so-called perfect matriarchal societies - which means sometimes working, sometimes leaving children in the care of others, and sometimes realizing that one's own sanity requires having a life outside of one's home.

But that's just me, and we've already established that I'm a bad Pagan, so it's really not new news....
