I can relate with Minny when she mention she doesn't mind work because she doesn't have to deal with all the responsibilities at home. I feel that way about school sometimes. I don't mind just secluding myself in our office and doing homework instead of cleaning and cooking. It give me a break. However, some days I still do both plus work a full 8 hour day. I don't know what it would be like to have 5 children, be a maid like Minny who spends all day cooking and cleaning other people's houses. I wonder how those women's hands get after using all those chemical in those days?
I just took 2 hours of my study time to go cook dinner clean the kitchen, make lunches, cut and wash veggies for our juice for breakfast and that was just for myself and husband.
Miss Celia being the new girl on town and the clicks between the women seem so high school! I feel bad for her. I like how Minny gets irritable so easy. I feel bad for people that are so high stress like that. I tend to not care enough sometimes my husband tell me. I just don't like to stress although I do get stressed with school. Not little things.
Miss Skeeter- she describes her hair like pubic...wow. The visual Kathryn gives are great. Her mom is so interesting. I can relate to mom telling me how she already had 3 children at my age. Times were changing then and now women wait longer to start having children.
Her mom's name reminds me of my European husbands mom. She has like 4 names. Graca Maria Fonseca Santos. I still have not changed my name to my husbands. It would be Gabriela Sylvia Montaner Da Fonseca...
Wow when Skeeter talks about job opportunities and the difference is just astonishing. I can't imagine being held back. I am the bread winner of my family. I've always made more money than my husband and have higher education goals. Doesn't say less about my husband but just to show how the times have changed. I don't mind it because I enjoy being a strong partner for my husband.
