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

As I said to mom4girls, that makes some sense to me. But that's a specific situation, not a general statement that Liza would never ride the bus, right? I guess I'm still having a hard time with the idea that kids are drive to and from school by parents until adulthood. It just isn't the way I grew up :-).
7:35 seems ridiculously early! I thought 8:00am was too early. As the kids get older, school starts later :-).
The catholic schools start about an hour earlier than the public schools -dismissal used to be at 1;45 but it will be 2:10 this year. I honestly don't mind b/c It gets me to work on time even when I have an 8am board meeting! LOL
I don't think I'd say liza would NEVER ride the bus -- if it ever happens to work for us I'd be open to it --and she'd probably love it!
Yes. We. Did.
I have a blue collar job and I get a lunch "hour" about a half dozen days a year. Most days my lunch break is 15-20 minutes. My busiest time of the day is from 9:00 to 2:30, I cannot take an entire hour off and get done what needs to be done on time. But on the plus side I do get paid for my lunch break (unless I physically leave the building) but that is because I often spend part of the time working.
It was very simiiar in my previous job. In theory I was supposed ot have a 10 minute break in the morning and a 20 minute break for lunch but in reality it was about a 5 minute break (or no break at all) in the morning and a 10 minute lunch break. Again because I could not take a longer break and get everything done that needed to be.
The job previous to that I also had a 20-25 minute lunch break.
The only job that I had where I actully had a lunch hour was when I was in the Air Force in the early 80's.
Nothing wrong. I would prefer it actually, but not a realistic option right now. Eldest is a bully magnet and buses are not well supervised- (especially sinceone of his bullies isnow a bus patrol) and the school is on a busy road they have to corss with no crossing guard. Plus, the bus takes 30 minutes when we can walk in ten and they got off green 3 times out of 5 (the busses have notoriously bad fumes). Ridiculous I know.
In JH, the bus comes at 6:40AM for first period start at 7:30am. The school is a mile and a half away. Havent't decided what to do there yet (still two years away).

I've had many days where I'm too busy to do anything for 10 hours except pee.
