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

You still didnt get what I said. There is a difference between chosing something and doing something that pleases themself. I pick up my children because they are my children and it is my responsiblity to do that. However I dont view carpool as pleasing.

No I didnt really need to ask again. I just wondered what part of my post before needed a response. I guess it is the last word thing again.

"That's fair...at least your children had their dad to take care of them...I agree with that!...if it came down to it in this day and age,having a childs parent is better then having family or strangers taking care of him,her or them."


Huh.

I agree with you there. I'm sure many people might call time with kids to take care of "do as you please time", but I sure as he!! don't. I can't wait until work/school starts for me, I haven't had a kid free minute (besides after they go to bed) for 3 weeks.

Yeah. Over 300 posts since she/he has posted. I'm betting on a fly-by. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

The main reason I get stressed out at self checkouts (other than the one at Kroger) is because they just plain talk too much.
