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

Or if you and PKA and others need to clean it more than once every two weeks, you're choosing not to do so.

As I posted earlier I only make beds when I change the linens. It has absolutly nothing to do with time spend on the computer.

How did you get connected to the idea that your childrens' care for their first year of life was all "on you" and not at all on your DH?

I don't believe I'd get more than a nominal amount of intellectual stimulation as a SAHM.

"Friendship is a type of interpersonal relationship that is found among humans and among animals with rich intelligence, such as the higher mammals and some birds. Individuals in a friendship relationship will seek out each other's company and exhibit mutually helping behavior.

and I say again..why,when deciding to start a family...do women...then decide to go back to work??...


Because we like to work and don't see why becoming a parent means we can no longer WOH?

I guess I don't see it that way. I consider the activities that my kids are in to be vital to making them well rounded human beings.I consider it part of my "job" if you will. In fact, today, I am playing catch up on housework...fun fun..;-)
