Heart vs. Head: The work status decision

Did you make your decision to SAH/WAH/WOH ft/pt based primarily on objective/tangible factors, or with your heart?

i personal experience is that breastfeeding and bottle feeding is equally nurturing. I think it depends on your experience and your expectations. if one really wants to be breastfeeding and cant for whatever reason i would imagine they would feel differently than someone who chooses to bottle feed.
my first dd i tried breastfeeding, we were both miserable, we switched to bottles and life was good, for both of us. had i continued to force breastfeeding the nurturing she would have received would have been greatly diminished because we were both so miserable. my second dd was exclusively bottlefed. with both girls feedings were a special time, a time to spend together, in a calm and peaceful setting. now my son was exclusively breastfed (although he did have one bottle in the hospital and one when he was about 4 days old) he was the one who would just latch on and guzzle until he fell back asleep. feeding him was just as pleasureable and peaceful as feeding the girls, he just went about it differently. so thru all of my varied experiences with feeding my kids, to me there just is no difference and the nurturing they received in the process was pretty much the same. while i will never know how my kids felt about the way they were fed as infants, to me they were all equal.

If you read my post, I was being sarcastic. She claimed you could find anything you wanted on the internet. I stated I used the dictionary not some militant sah website.
I do not know what you were reading or how you came ot that conclusion!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, can you guys read straight??? Where did I call you a militant sahm???????????? You claimed you can find anything on the internet to prove your point. I stated that I looked in the dictionary. I was being sarcastic when I stated it was the DICIONARY (never said you) and not a militant sah website.
Where do you people get this stuff?

" says, "Navy makes a very strong statement." I guess so. It says, "I'm boring." Or, "I'd like this job here at the bank.""

"Veronica: "I hate fake deer too. Every time I see their stupid fake-deer faces I want to grab a shotgun and go all Cheney on 'em." Sure, but since fake deer don't talk, they won't
Very good post.

So, 2 people read it wrong. I mean you 2 were not even close to being right. I point out 2x what I stated. My post was extremely clear. I never once stated even remotely that she was a militant sahm. It was not even "implied". And it is my fault? Oh, please. What a joke!
