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

I wouldn't know. I haven't ever seen one that hasn't been cleaned in months.

This morning alone I have done 2 loads of laundry, cleaned up what needed to be cleaned up, garbage can, messes on floor, made bed, eat breakfast, wrote checks. I do all of these things inbetween the computer. This afternoon I have a party so I will be relaxing the rest of the day while my dh takes the kids swimming. Looking forward to it!

I can't help that you didn't understand my answer, I understand what it's like to live with someone who is ADHD.

Why do you think I only know one kind of person, or one kind of mother or father? I am not 18 years old. I have traveled and met people from all over. Have worked for almost 20 years, met all different types of people. Of course my friends are similiar to me, that is why they are friends. Do I have friends who are different, of course, but usually you gravitate in life towards people who believe in the same things and live life in a similar way.

<<Yes, the 5 yr. old and bath was for PKA, I am not doubting that or ever said I did. >>


Ah yes, the leap from a 5 year old who is capable of taking a bath to the parent who is bad and/or neglectful.

Never said that. I know there are many different ways to clean and I don't clean like I did when I was a kid or even when I first got married.

Of course teachers help kids to get things. But not things they can easily get for themselves. Blocks and puzzles, they get them themselves. Painting supplies and things that need to be taken care of, teachers get those for the kids. If 99% of your boy's toys are in easy reach, then why even mention having to get things for him?

Since I didn't state what you are referring to, I can't answer your question.
