Recently, our members got together for a nice brunch on Sunday. We are happy to report everyone is pleased with our blog and everyone has signed up for the email delivery. We also welcomed our latest Stepford wife and extended an initiation to another who lives out of state. The raves and thanks went out to all involved with the actual blog writing.
One of our founding members did have a couple points of order to address the former having to do with our name and the latter having to do with comments. The action was raised that we aren't really a formal club, but more like an association of women, sharing ideas. We quite unanimously decided that we should change our name to The (real) Stepford Wives's Association.
The latter was couched in more a delicate way about allowing comments to the blog. Many members said they would like to leave comments. A few members did voice concerns that such action could leave us open to disparaging remarks on how we live from the general public and open us up to ridicule. We could simply add everyone to our blogroll as an author, however that required everyone to have an account with our host site. Suggestions were proffered that remarks could be moderated, but as still another pointed out someone still must read them an approve. If the remark is rude -- the damage is already done.
That action was tabled until our next meeting.
The final point of order was to add a note that we support and have the utmost respect for all women, including those who work outside the home. While we have made the choice to make our hushands and families our career, we do appreciate those who are bereft of this vocation by circumstance or nessesity. We understand that we are blessed that our husbands supportive of this decision. We simply do not turn our nose up or frown upon working women. We are not wealthy by any means, we are mostly middle class. We sacrificed having a career outside the home, which earns money, for a career inside our homes that gives us a fantastic amount of personal satisfaction.
