Here is some of the feedback from our segment on the book "The Meaning of Wife."

I am a lesbian wife. My female partner works full time and I do everything else in our household in addition to being a full time doctoral student, and it works well for both of us. The truth is everyone wants a wife! B.K.

I am amazed to hear that these young women let other people define them. I am 70 years old, I married and had my children very young....A woman has to define herself, in any situation at any age. This does not mean by hostility to other people in her life.

I very strongly feel that children need parenting 24/7 in the early years, and by giving them enough early we set them and ourselves free for the rest of their and our lives. Parent is not a life definition – unless one wants it to be.

There’s room for every definition of wife and mother and parenting. B.F
