From the Home Front

Two stories crossed the wires that, when combined, offer a tantalizing look at what? the markets?

The first is Viagra -- that, yes, it may actually work for women! Now, there is a caveat -- anything with women has to have a caveat. It may only work with women who are on anti-depressant drugs, so I reckon, there is no caveat after all -- they are all on A-DCs.

The second is that women are leaving the workforce to become, dare I say it Stay-at-home-moms? No doubt there will be some more business like token for the spot on a kin with "multi lateral business development manager in charge of base operations" but that is another story.

Put those two dittys together, and more babies cannot be far off. Who says the housing bust is a bust! Dad will soon be working overtime to support the new ranch Mrs. Postpartum is crying for...

Unless...there is another scenario. The world is already full of housewives clipping information form one site and pasting into their own as "CONTENT" on their BLOGS. The term blog. I believe is named for them -- Bored, Lazy, Overweight, Gals. There are a gajillion of them out there, but there is room for a few thousand more whining hags like "One Chic Mama". Oh puhleeze, goils!!! Can't you just sit home and wash the diapers? No one really wants to know about this over priced gizmo or that unnecessary junk that hubby will have to buy for you.

Save the money, you are going to need it for the down-payment...or the Viagra.

Your words are tough. I would say that some would find it ofensive. I'm a Vancouver realtor and I've seen a lot of couples with only ine provider. But that does not mean that the women's only responsibility was to get a baby and cry for money. Most stay-at-home mommies nowadays do a lot more. Their activities reach from internet based businesses to social networking in their community. I'm not saying that there aren't any B.L.O.G.s but that is certainly a minority.
