Recently, I have encountered efforts by some to encourage me to get a job....
Now I technically still have a job if I had time to go back to it...which I do not, but explaining that to some people can be a bit difficult.
From "You need to get out of the house," to "You need something to do" resonates while I attempt to explain that in a month I will not only be raising a 7 month old baby, but resuming my graduate classes. Fall Semester I will be taking three classes meaning that I will have three books to read and review usually by Friday of every week from the end of August until Christmas... aka, no free time. I do not think some people realize that school is very similar to a job, but you just do not get paid.
Perhaps there is some zen ninja academic master of history books that can read 3 books in a week, write 3 papers, maintain an A average and go to work while raising an infant, but I am not that ninja master nor do I wish to be.
I think my husband is the same.
Next time they say something I may respond with... in a few weeks I start my job again, I just do not get paid for it.
Thanks.

Don't worry about some people who don't understand. Shrug their comments off and thank God for those people who do understand and are incredibly proud of you. ♥
