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

See, if I came back with comments like that, you would hound me forever that I did not answer your question. Why do you think it is ok for us to just drop the subject?

Ah, the judgements are wide awake this morning.....because someone doesn't clean the way you do, they have a sloppy house. Oh boy.

I explained already that it has nothing to do with the way I clean. It is the cleaning discussion overall.

So why the leap from not cleaning as you to do having mold/mildew and safety hazards?

There are some things that are too heavy for him and yes, he will try and drag them down the hall but why can't I help? Would it be easier for him to do that for ME? Of course. I am not teaching my kids to do things so it will be easier for me. I am teaching them so they will be independent when the time comes for them to leave our home.

No reason. Just that maybe because alot of people (not speaking exclusively people on this board-JUST GENERAL) spend alot of time on the computer and neglect other things, like making beds, cleaning.
