Leisure time
Apparently, there is quite an uproar among women these days. Now, it isn't the type that might cause us to run out and burn our bras. Let's face it - no one is running out and burning up that $50 bra - that kind of stuff happened in the days when most ladies were rocking the playtex and crossing their hearts.
The problem? Some sociology professor who found that moms have about 40 hours of leisure time each week they don't even realize. I didn't even bother to read the study (because that would cut into my leisure time) but saw some of the highlights.
What this PhD considers leisure time to many would be laughable. Like, you get it during a root canal or while sitting alone in a broken-down car waiting for a tow truck.
I was discussing this today with a friend. She's got four kids of her own and had three more (including my daughter) at her house to play. I had to laugh because she made the girls cupcakes with homemade frosting. She admitted she used cake mix. Are you kidding? You made the chocolate frosting yourself? You did that while I was home sitting on the couch watching Dr. Phil talk about the sociologist's study about moms and leisure time? Wow.
