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

~~sister cleaned her kitchen counter 3 times and the rag was still black. How someone lives like that is beyond me.~~

I think at that point I'd have to be heading to Home Depot or Lowe's for emergency replacement counters!

With the cats, my counters get wiped down with disinfectant several times a day (all the ding-dang time, it feels like! LOL) I wipe them down BEFORE and after food prep. I never bothered trying to keep the cats off them because I knew they'd just get up there when I wasn't looking, so I just make sure the counters get a good wipedown before and after. and i use cutting boards that I can put through the dishwasher. (and keep out of reach of kittycat paws in between times!)

Since I'm already there with the disiinfectant wipes, I will usually give the sink a wipe out with them, too, so I almost never scrub the sink--probably only once a month when Flylady says I have to :)

What utter nonsense...Every child will sometime in their lives go to school...but NOT every child with be placed in Daycare Centers.(Theses are easy access to the parent...who decides to go back to work while a child/children are as young as 3 months!...Babies for goodness sake...and many Fathers DO-NOT have a say in the matter!...but hey you and many more will not argue that!...and that is absolutely terrible...so if many continue to do it,kids can't speak for themselves...all they see are the goodies...in place of time and effort with them...but hey you are not going to argue with that!:-).

I totally agree with you. I can't even *believe* some of the things I see these days. They should just learn their place, with their man as their keeper. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my husband to tell me how to do everything. I even heard some women get their own bank accounts. As IF my husband would ever let me near the money! I'd probably spend it all on shoes if he let me get near it. Thank goodness I have him to take care of me.

Child carecenters are GOOD!....have not mentioned anything less!...and they had better be...because when a baby or child/children are placed there..rather than being cared for by it's/their Mother..then by hook or crook they had better be a safe haven for the little ones!...as for Stepmother...at LEAST I had a Mother who took great care of her children....MANY of them..and was able to stand by her name!...God many can-not even stay deal with one child!,and not one of her children can accuse her of being Guilty of that!.Now I can only guess who had a STEPMOTHER!...
