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

What questions? I answered everything.

So if you understand what it is like to live with someone with adhd, then you will understand how my daughter is and what you went through as a sibling. What year was he diagnosed? Most kids our age were just labeled as "bad or slow" kids. No one I knew was actually diagnosed with add or adhd.

Because you do have more time.

Of course, I never stated any differently.

Same here. I think that Dylan had milk and juice more often when he was in dc as she had to follow strict dietary rules set by CA. And he has milk (white and chocolate) and juice offered at school for both breakfast and lunch. If he takes his lunch, his beverage is water.

You are not tired because your children are older and help you. You are not understanding that I have a young child who needs cared for and add cleaning, a child with adhd, a husband, dog and a fulltime job, I am tired and don't think I need to be ashamed to say so.

I do not think it is only a woman's responsibility to care for the house, but IME, most people assume that making sure that things get taken care of in the home, regardless of who actually does the work, usually falls to the woman.

Well in NH every day is tax free day (no sales or income tax) but the BEST part of the uniforms is the yearly uniform swap! last year I sent in the stuff Liza ahd outgrown adn I got 4 jumpers, 4 shirts, a cardigan and a gym uniform for a $10 donation. now THAT can't be beat.

last year Sister Janet decreed navy blue socks or tights ONLY... by about February the local supply of navy blue tights was completely depleted at all local targets, kmarts, walmarts etc...I became like a crazy woman looking for navy blue tights everywhere I went!

 

Yes. We. Did.

Dylan rarely brushes/combs his hair. He doesn't need to. It's a crew cut. By the time he was 5, he was washing himself. It was only hair washing that we did. Now, he is in charge of that as well. If he didn't come out of the bathroom passing my cleaniness inspection, he went back in and took the bath again. It didn't take long for him to realize that doing it right the first time takes less time than having to do it over agian.
