The radio interview went fine. Conservatives love this stuff. Comments have been mostly supportive, though a few folks are sure my son will hate me as an adult. But don't we all hate our parents, especially mothers, at some point? And then we go back to loving them again. So I'm not too worried.

I think one mother put it best. She was describing her own mother's reaction to all the growling over Tiger Mothers. She said parents believe their children can do more than the child believes they can do. A mother's job is to help them see the possibilities. Exactly.
I've worked for 24 years as a newspaperwoman. On April 23rd, 2010, I took a voluntary layoff from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Now, I would be a full-time Mom to my 13-year-old and a full-time wife to a husband I affectionately refer to as a Bossband. I expect to have plenty of time to be a Lady of Leisure, given my son's teen age and my lack of domestic skills. Follow me on my transformation.

Pushy Me
Well, the essay is out. I'm doing a radio interview at 11:30 a.m. for WPHT-1210 -- Dom Giordano's show. Hope he isn't too attack dog.
