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

your 4 year old pours himself milk? wow. mine doesn't or maybe i just don't allow it...i prefer he ask my permission when he wakes up and wants milk over cereal or a glass of milk. as far as water goes,we have a refrigerator with the water dispenser on the door. he mastered that the day we got it. lol.

You are saying that your child can not carry any of those?

"<>

Which is what we pitch in and help with."

What does this have to do with the overall cleanliness of one's home? When you walk into their home, you will know if it is clean or not.

That's what we did as well, to teach them to pour.

I remember you saying about how it affected your parents but not really the affect on you, personally when you grew up.

Nope. They really don't get that dirty. In our other house I think the water was harder and we kept the blue stuff in the tank. Don't appear to need it in this house.

In OUR bathroom, the sink gets rinsed daily or every couple days, so there's not much buildup in those two weeks. the kids bathroom? I try not to go in there ... ;)

He has alot of things that he tries to pick up but they are too heavy, blocks, legos, wooden puzzles, huge firetruck, large games.

He drinks milk in his cereal in the morning and sometimes a glass at night. He is still learning how to pour things like this without making a mess (so is my 9 yr old!!).
