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

If you're so keen on child care, it certainly doesn't come across here.

Women do rule...get over it. You may have a woman president in your life time so you better start dealing with that possibility too. My boss is a woman, I'm a boss and I'm a woman...my Congresswoman is a...woman... and I was proud to vote for her. My state senator is a woman, the president of my state senate and the speaker of my state legislature are women and I'm friends with them both. You're right, it's NOT a man's world any more THANK GOD

 

Yes. We. Did.

mam...the topic of 'this thread' is "guilt" the topic of the whole board is SAHM vs WOHM but right now the topic seems to be alternately standards of cleanliness or for some reason the influence of the works of Tennesee Williams on the contempoary Taliban regime

I don't work 365 days a year. Sometimes I feel like I am off more than I work! I have many days off and usually take at least 1 per week every few weeks. I will be off the entire week in 2 weeks and then a couple days in the next couple weeks. I don't remember the last time I actually worked a full 5 days for a month.

I never said he didn't. Never said he hasn't taken a water bottle out of the fridge by himself either.

She gutted and updated the entire kitchen less than a year later. Her dh is a clean freak so I am sure he brought home the strongest things (non toxic of course-lol!) to clean it and in no time it was clean (not to his standards but clean!).
