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

No, I know it is true. We have lived here when the woman we are talking about was a toddler. We know how she and her brothers were raised. I totally believe the neighbor as she grew up with her and is still friends with her because they live next door to one another.

We do not mow our lawn every week. We mow it on an as needed basis (if possible).

We had an extremely wet spring/early summer (record setting). There were periods where we could not mow our lawn for a few weeks because it never dried out.

Now we are in out normal hot dry August. During dry times we generally mow every other week. I mowed it last week but will probably not this week.

But the big difference between mowing the lawn and making my bed is I do see a reason to mow my lawn. I do not see a reason to make my bed.

There is a small amount of truth in your message...but women put themselves in that position..after all it is a baby or child we would or are looking after..and what do mothers expect...for their child to be some kind of Einstein!:-)...and my involvment in this particular Topic is all about,Women getting bored,and the next best thing is to go back to work!.

If you think day care is such a wonderful opportunity, then why judge parents' motives for using day care?
