Stigma

As you know, I have been looking for a job. Today, I had to go and see some official people regarding a visa for someone. As we went through the paper work, it came up that I do not work. I was made to feel so small. The fact that it was our choice that I don't work is irrelavent. We have no items on credit, and live on my husbands wage. I don't need to work. But as I do not earn a wage and do not file a tax return, I felt so small.Why?????

If I worked, yes the money would be nice but that is my husbands choice, and mine! No-one elses! I want to work for me, that is why I have not found a job yet! I could go to Woolworths or Target, but I don't want to! I want to work in a school again, or in a kindy.

People can be so cruel.
