Good suggestions. I grew up in a family that said “you don’t say no” but I have learned that I can to say no. However, I still struggle from time to time. I work a 40 hour week, but on a flexible schedule, so some days are long, others are not. It works well so I can have the time off for things with my daughter when I need it. These ladies I am sure I would not be friends with, if I was not assigned to them. They often turn the lesson, even when I am teaching it, into the joys of staying at home. Then they always say in a very condesending tone “oh, don’t worry, we understand YOUR situation, YOU are fine, it is all those OTHER selfish moms who CHOOSE to work”. I work with a lot of women. The only choice we make is the choice to feed and clothe our children, which means getting a job. I have yet to meet a woman who only works in order to get fancy clothes and pedicures. They may exist, but they are a lot more rare than my RS sisters want to believe. I think it will be best to ask for a letter route. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I do hope to get something from here. I am certainly not wanting to be anti, and I have found some sites to be a little too angry, but I sure do have some issues. I really miss my Brooklyn ward, as they were very diverse. Oh, well. I am glad to find some kind words here. Well, I admit polygamy is not one of my biggest issues. I kind of just ignore it I guess, except for one thing. I am the decendent of a second wife. Without polygamy, who knows where/what I would be. Kind of eerie to think about. But I figure I am worth while, and that is how I came to be, so what right do I have to really question it? I know I would not like to live it, and I do not understand it, but I am here because of it. Does that make any sense? Now, if you got me talking about prop 8, racism in the church, etc, well, then you would discover my problems.
