Why does the media portray working moms, always, as having guilt?

My daughter was fine with that. Not my son. He is very different than her.

I disagree, there is being active and then there is being physically active and I can tell the difference in my children at least when it comes to the two.

You still didn't answer my questions and yes as I explained numerous posts ago I understand what it is like living with someone with adhd.

In that case, would you feel that the house was a reflection your dh instead of you since he would be the one who had more responsibility in the chores?

Okay again.....I have no idea what your are talking about as I haven't ever mentioned that any of that is a problem in my house.


There is a nice grey area between cleaning constantly

?? I did answer you. My children are physically active everyday. During the week they are at camp and daycare and on the weekends they are running around in the backyard playing ball, they are at pool parties. During the winter we bring them to an indoor play area which they will play for 2 hours at a time. They are always physically active. My son will sometimes sleep through the night if he is out in the sun all day and maybe swimming but he will still be up early. Example-Saturday he was out in the sun swimming and running around for 7 hours. He went to bed about 8:30 as he fell asleep as soon as we got home, slept through the night and was up at 6:15.

Why would you say that I have more time? If it comes down to it, you are doing what pleases you too by woh.

Skorts? I have many personal issues with Catholic schools, but that just seems...so wrong.

Yes, my dryer is down there. I haven't noticed it making it too warm though.
