Picture 6

I n the year or two before I actually started to skip periods, I began to experience an increasingly common feeling of irritability whenever my work was interrupted or I had to contend with a coworker or employee who was not as committed to accomplishing the job as I was. Looking back, I recall that when I was in my thirties and my children were younger, their interruptions when I was in the middle of writing an article or talking on the phone were only mildly irritating to me. My love and concern for their welfare usually overrode any anger or frustration I might have felt.

But as I approached menopause, I found myself unable to tolerate distractions such as my eighteen-year-old asking me, When is dinner? when she could clearly see I was busy. Why, I wondered, was it always my responsibility to turn on the stove and begin to think about my familys food needs, even when I wasnt hungry and was deeply engrossed in a project? Why couldnt my husband get the dinner preparations started? Why did my family seem to be almost totally paralyzed when it came to preparing a meal? Why did they all wait in the kitchen, as though unable to set the table or pour a glass of water, until I came into the room and my mere presence announced, Moms here. Now we get to eat?
