Respecting other WAHM's

HI everyone,

I wasn't sure if i was going to write this or not.
I didnt know the "classy" "professional" way to go about this.

So I hope that everyone can understand where I am coming from. As a woman. As a mother. As a business owner.

The WAHM industry is growing so fast, and its so wonderful to see so many woman having the opportunity to stay at home and work. Whether its sharing a creativity that they posses or continuing on in their pre-baby field of work - but at home.

I think in the WAHM community there should be (and in some aspects is) a very wonderful common respect of each others work.

Its so lovely to see so many woman supporting each others craft.

Many WAHM's invest a huge amount of money into their business and huge amounts of time. I know i have not seen my children very much in the last month. My partner comes home we eat together and I am then in my office for the rest of the night sometimes until 2am completing orders and bringing my customers the products they love. I do this because I enjoy what I have created and I enjoy being able to have an income and stay at home during the day to parent my children.

I think I want to put this out there because I have had a bit of a run of the "copy cat" syndrome. There have been a couple of instances in the last month or so. (I will not openly speak poorly of the situation). But I think this post is asking for respect of my ideas/designs/craft. Please remember if you ever want to create a replica of a product that is quite original and innovative there is probably a woman on the other side that as worked really hard to bring her idea/passion to life.

Just some food for thought
