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

You have asked those same questions 5 times, I have answered them 4, the answers haven't changed.

That wasn't the debate. It was about how well you know your ILs.

Of course we wipe down the counters. That's done at least 2 times a day. But that's not really "cleaning" to me. It's also something the service doesn't do.

But no, we don't scrub the toilets or sinks. We'll rinse the sinks if needed. Or be a bit more vigorous if there is reason. There usually isn't.

icant think of any games my 4 year old is old enough to play that he couldnt pick up, arent most games just a matter of putting the pieces in a box. as to a gallon of milk, i dont let my kids drink milk all day long. what i have done with all three of my kids to teach them to pour milk is a put milk in a small pitcher and they pour the milk at the table, even the 4 year old can do that, that way in the mornings they can pour thier own glass of milk and pour milk over their cereal. they want something to drink between meals they can get themselves a glass of water.

I honestly don't pay that much attention to the presence or lack of rings in my toilets... I have not set schedule for clenaing I sort of do a few things if I think of them but I never spend a whole evenig or god forbid precious weekend day cleaning...If got had wanted my floors to be spotless SHE wouldn't have invented scatter rugs...

 

Yes. We. Did.

Are the Taliban,the ONLY culture some of you ladies know?...and that you really think they are the only other culture that shares our Universe?So who ever started off using the Taliban as an example...it would I believe be better for you to watch the TV more often...if you were in doors of course:-)......bsides they do-not have anything to do with this discussion...so to the ladies who have mentioned the Taliban so often.. I can't say if you ladies are lucky or not.:-)...As for the Taliban...perhaps a few could learn a few things from them...the children are with their MOTHERs all the time :-)...no harm in that....Remember...this is for to the ladies who know only of the Taliban.
