Hi, Mila, I also have to learn to let go of the chores... LOL. It's really hard, isn't it? I know what you mean about being traditional AND liberated. I work 50-60 hours a week and still do all the housework and cooking (from scratch) plus volunteer work - it's part of why my M was put on the back burner. For me, it works if I go to another room - like leave the kitchen and go to the living room - when the dishes are not done. I have to remember to follow up, that's the hard part.

Brief thread hijack warning... HB - thank you for your presence here. (Along with OP and Snodderly and all you other old timers that I haven't met yet.) I'm just so grateful for your time and insights. I have printed off so much of your posts and read and re-read to give me the strength and knowledge to begin. Now that I have books arriving, I'm reading them as well, but before they arrived, you and 1000ships were my best source of info and strength... thank you again.
