Little Leisure Time for Moms

Married women with preschoolers and full-time jobs have less free time than anyone else who is married. They have only 2.70 hours of leisure time a day. The men in their lives have 30% more leisure time than their wives - 3.5 hours.

I am saddened by this "leisurely posting" only because I am in hot pursuit of a teaching job. I am pregnant with my second child and no matter how much I explain my unique situation... No one will hire me! I happen to be due in late June. Therefore I have 8 weeks (a.k.a. maternity leave) to spend with my new born. I am also the proud owner of a stay-at-home husband who is more than willing to take care of our new born son while maintaining his 11 year old, well established home business. No matter, I cannot get hired! Yes, I am fully qualified and ready to go. What is the big deal?! I have a dual B.A. in education (elementary and early childhood). I also have a MA i Educational Psychology along with over 10 years of teaching experience. Any thoughts?
