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

An accountant doesn't have any licensing 'requirements' like a lawyer does. One can be an accountant without being a CPA.

You apparently just don't know much about the subject. An accountant is an accountant, a CPA license is not a requirement or even necessary.

I would think if he puts a ton of work and research into his investments, then he is a WAHD.

Well, I guess I could have said something like that, and it might have been true at least once in a while, depending of course on traffic;-)

But I agree, kids driving themselves to school might be part of the problem. Our HS makes kids go through a certain rigmarole before they're given parking permits for the school lot - they have to be using the car to go to work after school or something like that.

When I attended high school with kids from the local Catholic school, they didn't seem to be more well behaved than the other students or ahead of us scholastically.

My Catholic hs was pretty strict. I got kicked off the NHS for eating an ice cream cone.

Of course, we weren't allowed to go off campus and there was nowhere to buy an ice cream cone on school grounds, it was after lunch time, in the 70s, so they were pretty sure I didn't bring it from home that morning (we didn't have those high tech lunch insulated boxes). I was a bad apple ;-) according to Sister Mary Elizabeth until she got the police report from our prom...

I don't know. Does it look like anything?

I didn't make any judgment about who is overprotected and who isn't. I'm sure some are. I'm sure some aren't. I'm not qualified to judge anyone's but my own and maybe those of people I'm really close to.
