My oldest son Nathan, decided that he would be living his dream life if he were a member of the Brady family.
WHAT!!!???? Other than having Alice at my side 24/7, I was surprised that he wasn't living that dream already!?
Carol was the prototype liberated woman. Although she chooses to be a stay-at-home mom, she is anything but a housewife. She is a freelance writer, a sculptor, political activist and singer. She also organizes plays and PTA events while keeping dinner on the table and completing needlepoint projects all while keeping her home emotionally balanced.
Some of her favorite things are a large terra-cotta vase, dangly earrings and singing in church. She also loves telling corny jokes, and finding clever ways of zinging her husband.

Ok...so maybe I don't like politics, earrings, needlepoint, sculpting, PTA, cooking or own a terra-cotta vase....but hey...this is the 21st century! I am great at going thru drive-thrus for dinner, stocking up on chocolate milk, Saturday morning donut runs, watching sports-(namely basketball and high school football), sewing on merit badge patches, typing essays, taxi-ing all over town, having church clothes ready each Sundy, not to mention hugs, kisses (even in front of middle school kids-ha!) and reading together!!!
What more could a kid want? Will my kids complain about me to their therapist someday? Does Carol have any regrets? Should I have married an architect? Obviously...only time will tell and hopefully someday Nathan will realize life at our house is better than the Brady's!? If not, he can go live on "Fantasy Island!"

Of course Carol has regrets!! She's a female and suffers from guilt, just like the rest of us. And of course, you should have married an architect. What were you thinking when you ran off with a rock star??? And Nathan already lives on Fantasy Island - he has 4 dogs and likes them!
