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

Me too. Toilets gross me out soooooo much!!! When I was pg. I would clean mine everytime someone would use it when they left! It just grosses me out and that is the 1st thing I clean when I know someone is coming over.

Absolutely nothing - I'm talking about little ones who seem always to have a juice box or some other drink, at home, in the car, in stores, as if they were about to dry up and blow away. But since they eat 3 meals per day and usually a couple of snacks, those seem like good times to give them some milk if that's what they like. Juice and soda, now, that's different.

I have four people ... and three toilets.

If it gets schmutz on it, I'll wipe it off. I didn't say it didn't get dirty. It does, enough to need a good scrubbing every two weeks. I said it doesn't get rings. It doesn't start to smell in two weeks either.

I agree, but as I posted to chris, it seems everybody has a lot more drinks going, of all kinds, these days than they used to. I mean, sometimes I look around and I see absolutely everybody drinking either a coffee, latte, cappuccino, bottled water, soda, vitamin water, sports drink or whatever, constantly. There's a whole new category of non-carbonated drinks in bottles now that the teens are way into. This wasn't the case 20 years ago.

Stay at home vs Work...that's what I have been talking about...which was,start a family ,then go out to work and have someone else or have then in need of a place to be taken care of...this was my question all along...Guilt is how others perceive it...I am not interested in how someone feels...especially if they have made the decision,regarding the topic I have been talking about.

I think you missed the begining of the subject and if you are interested, it's there to read.

As well you should - this "mom's job is to run the house" business is antediluvian...

How many toilets do you have versus how many people using them....then ask her the same questions.


Another example of different experiences, the list is growing.

We have 4 people and only 1 bathroom so maybe that is why I would think you would need to clean it before then.
