Mothering Magazine Sponsored Chat with Hathor the Cowgoddess --Hathor lives in the middle of urban sprawl with her dearest super-husband and three wee and wise kids. She has had an unassisted birth in the middle of her 700 square foot apartment, she breastfeeds on demand and in public, she shares sleep, maintains constant contact and unschools. Not only does she do all of this, she does it with grand style and verve. With extravagant and outrageous behavior. And with her trusty sidekick baby in a sling.

Hathor is the completely true product of the imagination of Heather Cushman-Dowdee, an outraged (because she might look distracted but she is paying attention! ) mama who has done almost all of the above (that part is autobiography)... except for the part that she totally makes up (those parts are wishful thinking). The raucous exploits of Hathor and her family are produced in comic form on the web and printed in many, many zines and magazines and books, too.

21:05:33 Webmama_Tina ok so today we are so happy, as always, to have our resident cow goddess....
21:05:34 HATHOR amyirony your question?
21:05:36 Webmama_Tina everyone give a moo!
21:05:39 Webmama_Tina *cow*
21:05:40 amyirony Thanks.  I have 2 questions (if that's ok).
21:05:49 amyirony *cow*
21:05:50 Webmama_Tina and amy can start us off!
21:06:19 Webmama_Tina go for it amy
21:06:34 amyirony I just found out I'm pg w #2 (!).  I want to do a homebirth (dd was born in a birthcenter).  We live in a 650 sf apt -- any tips for birthing in such a small place?  Oh, and it's a 5th fl walkup (NYC)
21:06:37 He-mom This is my first cyberchat, ever.... Talk amongst yourselves... I'll watch and learn from the masters.
21:06:57 HATHOR Aaaah, and when will you be giving birth?
21:07:09 Webmama_Tina okey dokey he-mom :)
21:07:12 amyirony End of August (if all goes well)
21:07:15 HATHOR  With me it was the dead of summer with no air conditioning
21:07:24 Webmama_Tina i'll be posting the welcome announcement periodically, don't mind me.... :) 
21:07:25 HATHOR and I closed all the windows!
21:07:28 mommyto5 Thanks! Your right. LOL
21:07:53 Webmama_Tina right now we have hathor and amyirony up to bat....if anyone else has a question for hathor, please post a single question mark and i will let you know when its your turn :)
21:07:54 HATHOR One thing I've noticed is that there seems to be a veil that 
21:08:00 Webmama_Tina that way we can keep things from getting too confusing :)
21:08:07 HATHOR protects you from your neighbors
21:08:18 HATHOR I consider myself to be pretty loud 
21:08:30 HATHOR but no one heard me or said anything about it
21:08:31 amyirony lol, I was pretty loud w dd, fer sure
21:08:52 HATHOR we didn't tell anyone we were planning it so they weren't really listening

21:09:26 HATHOR and my other two kids didn't even wake up tho I could hit them with a shoe from where I was birthing
21:09:39 HATHOR I never would of course hit them with a shoe.
21:09:41 HATHOR hee hee
21:09:56 mommyto5 ?
21:09:57 HATHOR YOu're gonna do great!
21:10:01 amyirony Yeah, I'm a little worried about dd.  she will be almost 3, and we don't have family close by.  Not sure if she'll be old enough to be ok with it.
21:10:04 HATHOR do you have another question?
21:10:10 amyirony Oh, yes thanks
21:10:30 amyirony I still nurse dd (2.3) everywhere, including subway trains at rush hour
21:10:35 HATHOR I hear from lots of people that their kids sleep right through
21:10:43 Webmama_Tina current chatter: amyirony .....upcoming chatters: mommyto5 
21:10:46 HATHOR good for you!
21:11:03 amyirony But in spite of my belief that people need to SEE nursing to get used to it, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed
21:11:20 amyirony (which is so unlike me, I'm usually an exhibitionist).  Any tips for getting over myself?
21:11:29 HATHOR it can feel embarassing can't it, sometimes? 
21:11:39 amyirony yes, I hang my head to avoid eye contact
21:11:43 amyirony I hate that feeling.
21:11:53 HATHOR You know some places/ public spaces just have a 
21:12:12 HATHOR ominous and embarassing feel to them
21:12:31 HATHOR we all feel like that sometime and there's no problem with that
21:12:42 Webmama_Tina yeah i feel that way too
21:12:43 amyirony I've had some people who were friendly and chatty to dd, until they saw her nurse.  Then they give her the cold shoulder
21:12:52 HATHOR just try to make yourself feel comfortable so that you can hold your head up and feel confident
21:12:53 Webmama_Tina mine is cuz i don't want any sort of confrontation 
21:13:05 amyirony And I feel like I'm doing wrong by her when that happens.
21:13:24 HATHOR if that means that you cover a bit more than you would like its okay as long as you are feeling in control
21:13:50 HATHOR and perhaps you could make sure you have some breastfeeding advocacy bags with you or something
21:13:53 amyirony Thanks.  I try.  I always think of your cartoon where the baby pulls off to show off the nipple and I laugh!
21:13:58 Webmama_Tina yeah \act as if\" you feel confident and that really helps me :)"
21:14:25 HATHOR Its all in the 'ACT ' somedays, isn't it? ;) 
21:14:43 Webmama_Tina yup...that little quote really helps me when i want to feel something i'm not
21:14:46 HATHOR mamato5 ?
21:14:49 Webmama_Tina act as if, and eventually you will :)
21:14:54 Webmama_Tina yup go for it mamato5
21:14:57 mommyto5 Your last few comics have really hit home for me. I have been feeling like that for sometime, that we care more for things than each other. That children are an afterthought and that STUFF is most important
21:15:10 HATHOR Amen sister! 
21:15:12 He-mom ?
21:15:29 HATHOR And speaking of that, I wanted to say thank you for the wonder full stuff!
21:15:43 Webmama_Tina current chatter: mommyto5 ....upcoming chatters: He-mom 
21:15:52 mommyto5 Your so very welcome!
21:16:01 HATHOR I don't think I mentioned to you(i spaced it today when we were talking on-line) that the books you sent for xmas totally rocked!
21:16:24 HATHOR That book small houses is sooooooooooooooooo great, I wish I had written it!
21:16:51 HATHOR And Gwynnie LOVED jamberry big (we have the bored book) it totally cracked her up
21:16:59 mommyto5 We are also planning a UC. I finally got up the guts to let the midwife go and just take back my power. How did you help your dh get comfy in the whole idea? I love the book too!
21:17:22 HATHOR Well, my dh got comfy with the idea the day AFTER the birth.
21:17:39 mommyto5 LOL! That is good to know! :)
21:17:41 HATHOR Then he was talking on the phone giving the play by play like he thought of the whole thing
21:17:51 HATHOR god love him :wub: 
21:18:24 HATHOR I bought him the book Emergency childbirth by Gregory White? I think
21:18:40 mommyto5 I thought the book Spiritual Midwifery would be good, but as I skimmed thru it... AGH! A bit clinical. LOL
21:18:48 HATHOR Its like a how-to manual for birth and is pretty comforting
21:19:11 HATHOR it says that any 8 year old can assist a birthing mother, that helped a LOT 
21:19:18 HATHOR though it is pretty clinical.
21:19:33 mommyto5 Thanks! My son will be so into that! haha
21:20:09 HATHOR I've heard some mothers assure their dh that they will be willing to transfer when they *know* that they need to
21:20:34 HATHOR and assure them that women are made to *know* but you have a few births under your belt
21:20:50 HATHOR so I'm sure you are pretty tried and tested*) 
21:20:57 HATHOR hee hee
21:21:01 mommyto5 LOL
21:21:29 HATHOR he-mom?
21:21:32 He-mom This is a question directed to Heather the artist... Are you familiar with [i]Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain[/i] and if so, do you think it would be helpful for a young artist (my 9yo dd)?
21:21:45 HATHOR Absolutely!

If you have a question, please post a single \?\" and you'll be added to the queue. Have your question ready when your name is called. "
21:22:13 HATHOR That's one of the books I used when I was teaching drawing...
21:22:47 HATHOR With drawing its all about the easel and setting up so that you can see the 
21:23:07 HATHOR see what you're drawing AND your
21:23:16 HATHOR paper without really moving your head.
21:23:41 He-mom What kinds of things have you done with your kids to help them think like an artist... without getting schoolish on them iykwim?
21:23:42 HATHOR I'd love to teach drawing again...
21:24:18 HATHOR Just giving them free reign with art supplies really.
21:24:51 HATHOR and letting them explore, and also letting them watch you be creative
21:25:45 HATHOR I think if you find something to work on (besides the computer, I find if I'm working on the box the kids are at loose ends or off somewhere else) but if I'm working on a comic at the table
21:25:59 HATHOR they sit down and get out paper and start doing it too
21:26:52 HATHOR That's the way I'm starting to think of everything I want to \expose\" the kids too, that I should just drop the pretense and teach myself :D "
21:27:02 HATHOR whatcha think?
21:27:25 He-mom Yeah, this is one of those uncharted territories for me... not knowing how much I need to actively participate or just let nature take its course.
21:27:27 Webmama_Tina good idea!
21:27:30 nurturenature The former art teacher in me has to say \don't be afraid to let them make a mess\" since the best stuff comes from those free moments."
21:27:31 HATHOR Hey, ya'll we need some question marks!
21:27:52 HATHOR nurturenature, so true, so true... 
21:27:59 mommyto5 ?
21:27:59 Webmama_Tina yup, no questions in the queue...who's got a question for hathor?
21:28:06 Webmama_Tina ah there we go, go for it mommy
21:28:11 HATHOR mommyto5 ?
21:28:58 mommyto5 OK, me again... Do you think because you are an artist it is easy for you to just let them go and explore and make a mess? I am no clean freak, but I get all weird when they do art!
21:29:01 HATHOR My kids make giant cities of printer paper and scotch tape for their bobble heads.
21:29:02 amyirony ?
21:29:19 HATHOR I do have trouble with painting
21:29:44 nurturenature Outside!  The grass forgives.
21:29:45 HATHOR I live in a rental and I try, but I walk out of the room and voila! gigantic mess, unbelievable mess
21:30:09 HATHOR yes! We just got a new house and we have outside! We
21:30:24 mommyto5 I want to relax but I get all uptight, I think that sort of ruins the whole art experience when mom is there saying... stop, wait, ohhh, watch out!
21:30:24 Webmama_Tina if i can pipe in here...i have a TOTAL artist daughter....and i've found that if she's doing art in a non-designated art area i have a hard time with it...but we have an area set up for her to do art and that has really helped her creative juices flow and keep me from freaking out about the mess :)
21:30:28 HATHOR re going to put up andeasel
21:30:47 He-mom As an unschooler, do you inhibit yourself when you see a \teachable moment\" i.e., to teach some art concept like perspective, etc.?"
21:30:54 HATHOR man, that made no sense at all!
21:31:31 HATHOR Yes, I do try to keep from ruining the moment and if I forget my 9 year old reminds me!
21:31:42 mommyto5 LOL
21:32:07 HATHOR I bought my kids a tape dispenser and unlimited scotch tape with reams of printer paper and they buile cities
21:32:21 HATHOR its a great way to have art without freaking out
21:32:35 mommyto5 Right now it is a bit chilly, but maybe the outside would work as I can hose everything off. :)
21:32:48 Webmama_Tina current chatter: mommyto5 ....upcoming chatters: amyirony, Webmama_Tina
21:33:07 HATHOR amyirony?
21:33:11 amyirony Any tips for co-sleeping w a toddler and newborn?  Not only is dd in bed w us every night (which we all love), but she still night-nurses.  Is it unrealistic to think she can still night-nurse w a newborn? I dread the thought of weaning her. 
21:33:26 He-mom Thanks, Your Goddessness :)
21:33:48 Webmama_Tina its nice to have an art area that you don't have to always put everything away before you do something else....i let me daughter have ongoign projects in hers...although cleaning up is admittedly an issue too, lol
21:34:02 HATHOR All my babies weaned during my pregnancy, alas! so I don't have any 
21:34:15 Webmama_Tina (\"

2007-01-03"
21:34:19 Webmama_Tina ack
21:34:32 HATHOR but my recommendation to all is bigger bigger bigger bed 
21:34:32 Webmama_Tina (\i let me daughter\"...what do i have a cockney accent now? LOL!!!)"
21:34:49 HATHOR the only thing in life that needs to be bigger:p 
21:34:55 Webmama_Tina yeah i think there should be a family bed manufacturer...seriously!
21:35:06 HATHOR Totally!
21:35:11 Webmama_Tina make it in units that you can just keep buying pieces to add on
21:35:17 nurturenature I nursed a 2 and 1/2 year old and twins.  You can do it so long as they can.
21:35:25 Webmama_Tina some kind of velcro attachment for the mattresses
21:35:38 nurturenature Sleep that is another story...
21:35:41 HATHOR I think if you have plenty of bed real estate you can easily sleep with all 
21:35:59 HATHOR And if you can roll a bit away from toddlers they can sleep a bit longer
21:36:03 mommyto5 A California king turned sideways (if everyone is on the shorter side) makes a nice big space.
21:36:03 Webmama_Tina bed real estate, LOL!
21:36:14 HATHOR my two year old wakes if she feels my breath 
21:36:30 Webmama_Tina i read somewhere of families that have one room for sleepign and one for changing...so the dressers go in a separate room...i have half a mind to do that!
21:36:45 HATHOR I have two queens pushed together but am thinking 2 kings!
21:36:47 Webmama_Tina cuz ours is currently crammed
21:37:08 HATHOR but we have a 9 year old, 5 year old, 2 year old and two almost 40s
21:37:40 HATHOR You definitely don't need to wean, its just how it worked out for me
21:37:41 mommyto5 I wanted to do that... just have one room that is all bed. LOL 10X8 bed! LOL But dh was not so hip on that, though the kids loved the idea... lots of jumping space
21:38:01 amyirony I'm sorry, firefox crashed and I missed all your responses!  Thanks tho...
21:38:06 HATHOR so webmama?
21:38:07 Webmama_Tina woops!
21:38:35 HATHOR here we were talking away!
21:38:51 HATHOR see? its true I'll talk to myself if need be
21:38:53 Webmama_Tina ok so i'm wondering about unschooling.....i've kinda fallen into it accidentally and realized it is actually working, for the most part....
21:38:54 amyirony lol, I could hear the *blips* - it was so frustrating cuz I couldn't see anything!
21:38:56 Webmama_Tina lol
21:39:22 Webmama_Tina i am unable to do what i WANT to do (enki education, i bought the curriculum)....because of my toddler...
21:39:29 HATHOR See, that is the best part about unschooling! It just happens while you're living!
21:39:46 Webmama_Tina i'd love some ideas on how to do things with my 6yr old ....the 18mo makes it darn near impossible to do anything
21:40:05 Webmama_Tina even when he naps...cuz he's in a phase right now where he won't be put down to sleep
21:40:19 HATHOR I have had some years that I look back on as a complete wash, I was busy and frazzled
21:40:22 Webmama_Tina so nap time for him is computer time for me and private quiet time for dd, even if she doesn't really want it
21:40:39 mommyto5 Hathor, how is your hubby with the whole lifestyle you all are living? Has he brought any of it to the table or is it mostly you?
21:40:47 Webmama_Tina how do i keep things inspiring and enriching when i'm so frazzled with my 18month old, i guess is my question?
21:41:11 HATHOR but when I think about that, I remeber that the kids got to just hang and 'that's okay' to quote stuart smalley
21:41:31 Webmama_Tina he is sooooo needy and whiney during the day...the only way i've found to break out of the vicious cycle is to get out of the house, even just to run errands...otherwise i end up yelling a lot
21:41:36 HATHOR in a few months you'll be back, give yourself some time to just be
21:41:48 Webmama_Tina really? i feel like i am failing at homeschooling!
21:41:56 Webmama_Tina but yet...she does have things she does....
21:42:04 HATHOR yeah,  oh we all have those days!
21:42:04 Webmama_Tina i just don't get any one on one with her
21:42:12 Webmama_Tina well mine are months
21:42:29 mommyto5 You know, outside is a great place to learn. Maybe take the stuff outside you want to do, and then your little one can run about??
21:42:41 HATHOR My toddlers give up their naps realy early
21:42:41 Webmama_Tina the baby makes it all hard...and he's such a joy, really he is...but if i try to do anything with big sister, he's there whining to be a part of it...and he WON'T be distracted!
21:43:00 Webmama_Tina maybe....he DOES love to be outside...but requires a lot of supervision still, unfortunately
21:43:01 HATHOR I think it helps to assume that he will be a part of it
21:43:14 Webmama_Tina we do do things on the sidewalk with chalk...
21:43:20 HATHOR and try to find a way to make that work
21:43:36 Webmama_Tina right i do try that but he makes it really really hard...can't play any board games (and she got some COOL ones from discovery toys this xmas!) 
21:43:46 HATHOR we do reading outside on the blanket which helps
21:43:46 mommyto5 Can you garden? Great learning, living and little ones love the dirt! LOL
21:44:08 nurturenature Is he happy if you wear him?
21:44:12 Webmama_Tina reading ends up being him crawling all over me and making a lot of noise so we cannot hear the story...he's SO active...
21:44:15 HATHOR Aw man, we jsut started board games again (my littlest is 2.5) you'll get there
21:44:22 HATHOR and yes, I wear her alot!
21:44:29 Webmama_Tina sometimes...but i tell ya...he's HEAVY! he's over 30lbs already and it kills me to wear him too long
21:44:31 nurturenature Sorry
21:44:40 HATHOR If she's feeling whiney and clingy I
21:44:41 mommyto5 Big boy! 
21:44:44 Webmama_Tina i suck at gardening
21:44:46 nurturenature Backpack?
21:44:54 HATHOR ll pop her in the sling
21:45:09 Webmama_Tina i sometimes put him in the backpack...i have a frame pack...that helps sometimes
21:45:11 HATHOR and you could do more books on tape that you both listen to and talk about
21:45:16 mommyto5 Don't need to be good at it, just plant some seeds and get messy. :)
21:45:25 Webmama_Tina lol mommy, maybe so
21:45:36 Webmama_Tina i just feel so bad all the time cuz i get no time alone with her
21:45:56 HATHOR yeah, just keep your confidence your big girl is learning plenty and living and loving and that's what's improtant
21:45:58 Webmama_Tina last nite i told my dh that we were going to have time, just her and i, and he was going to have the baby....
21:46:06 Webmama_Tina 10min into it he's banging ont eh door and crying and dh is frustrated
21:46:11 HATHOR Also, who says you need alone time with each child?
21:46:17 Webmama_Tina don't you?
21:46:25 Webmama_Tina i mean i know its not possible all the time...but...
21:46:37 HATHOR Nope. I'm always with all three of them
21:46:46 nurturenature I never get alone time with my twins.
21:47:10 HATHOR there was a period when I thought I should do some alone time with my elder girls
21:47:13 Webmama_Tina with such a large age difference in mine (nearly 5yrs), it just feels like i should have special time with just her
21:47:29 Webmama_Tina maybe i should just let go of that....
21:47:39 HATHOR and I found it created a Lot of tension, sort of gave her an excsuse to be mad at me and the baby.
21:47:44 Webmama_Tina guess i just feel like i should be DOING more with her
21:47:48 HATHOR She would yell, we need alone time!
21:47:49 nurturenature It will all fall together in time
21:47:54 Webmama_Tina hm, that's a good point
21:47:59 mommyto5 I very rarely get alone time with any one of them. Maybe you and your oldest can go out... to the zoo or museum or park, for just a short time maybe an hour? 
21:48:05 Webmama_Tina yeah maeven does that...\i haven't had any time with mommy!\""
21:48:22 HATHOR But later I found that she was only saying what I had said. And when I stopped worrying about it  I've never heard it again
21:48:34 Webmama_Tina hm, interesting point
21:48:38 Webmama_Tina i'll have to watch that
21:48:40 HATHOR  The girls really can't imagine not being with each othe rwhich is nice
21:48:56 Webmama_Tina i guess what i need is to shift my way of looking at things....
21:49:02 HATHOR You do have a larger spread, but try letting yourself off the hook
21:49:19 HATHOR Mommy to 5 had a question
21:49:28 HATHOR can you repost it?
21:49:29 Webmama_Tina thanks! :)
21:49:32 Webmama_Tina og for it mommy
21:49:37 Webmama_Tina i mean GO for it, lol
21:49:53 mommyto5 hmmm give me a sec. LOL
21:50:08 HATHOR it was a good one too!
21:50:13 HATHOR all about dh!
21:50:23 mommyto5 How much of your lifestyle has your dh brought to the table? 
21:51:07 HATHOR Oh, him? he's an old stick in tthe mud! hee hee, naw he's really really great and proud of my cartoon, turns people onto it all the time. He blew a
21:51:24 HATHOR fiend's mind the other day when he told someone I was a 
21:51:35 HATHOR cartoonist and not a stay at home mom
21:51:49 HATHOR she thought that was cool, but about the parenting I'm most of that
21:52:31 HATHOR He doesn't have a hippy bone in his body, but really likes being around his family which is great
21:52:55 HATHOR and he started me on the path, because he met a LLL leader (wife of his boss)
21:53:09 HATHOR and she told him to have me call her when I was pregnant
21:53:16 mommyto5 Most of what we \do\" is because of me. (not to sound snotty) although he goes with the flow pretty easily. I just wondered if anyone had a dh that suggested things like unschooling, or what not. "
21:53:28 HATHOR so he FORCED me to when I was new to it all
21:53:39 Webmama_Tina lol, mr cow goddess isn't a hippy? that sounds like my family! LOL
21:53:43 HATHOR I've never met that kind of dh
21:53:50 HATHOR tho I heard they exist
21:54:06 nurturenature I do. Blessed I am.  Scott is...right?
21:54:07 mommyto5 well give your man a smooch! If he hadn't pushed who knows... LOL
