Is wearing an apron violating my status as a career woman?
I am in a role reversal marriage. My husband stays home full-time and I work as an attorney.
I recently decided to host a dinner party - and I did all of the cooking. I never cook, but decided to venture.
I wore a nice cocktail dress to the party, but also opted to wear a hostess apron to protect my dress. It was very pretty (green and red floral). At the party the wife of one of my associates goes, "So you're wearing an apron. Looks like you are giving up on being super career woman".
What should I make of that comment? Yes it was stupid, but is it true. Is wearing an apron a sign of regression after all I worked for to become a sole breadwinner and independent woman?
Ohmigod NO!
You were wearing an apron to protect a good dress. That's all. Its a practical and common-sensical thing to do.
I don't much care for people who single-mindedly focus on their careers.....life is so much bigger than just a job. I think its great that you decided to cook, because its always a good thing to be multifaceted, coz you challenge different areas of your brain and just become more capable.
Also think about one thing, is this woman working? It could be that she envies you for having a great job and being able to take time out to prepare a great meal. Maybe the comment just stemmed out of jealousy, in which case you should take it as a compliment.
I hope you don't give up on expanding your interests and being sensible about them. Good luck to you.

Kids Aprons â so Many New Choices and Options
When the average person thinks of an apron, the first thing that comes to mind is some type of work apron, be it a kitchen or a shop. However; anyone that has worked with kids, particularly in a school, recreation facility or day care center, knows that they too need aprons for art time and eating. Going with out them can mean that from time to time a child is going have to spend the last half of the day with a shirt smeared with paint drenched in milk or juice.
How it Used to Be
In years past, there were very few sources for these types of aprons for children and even then, those few sources had very limited choices. Custom aprons of any type, were virtually out of the question, unless a person or organization was willing to spend an arm and a leg having their kids aprons custom made or printed.
Multitudes of Choices and Option
Now, thanks to the Internet all that has changed. This is because new online sources make it so easy and affordable to find just the exact kids aprons that you are after. Also, because these online sources specialize in aprons of all types, you will find a veritable cornucopia of design and color scheme choice to select from.
Eric the Pyro
Also, new high fabrics mean that todays choices in kids aprons are not only stain resistant, but fame resistant as well. This means that they will always look great and you wont have to worry about little Eric the Pyro going up in smoke when he breaks out the cigarette lighter that he has brought from home.
Custom kids aprons are also now problem now. This means that you can easily have aprons created that have your school or organizations name and logo printed on the front. Another great idea is to have each kids name printed on their own apron. Thanks to new digital printing technology all this is now so easily affordable
