how do i convince my husband to let me at least job-share so i can take care of our 3 month old dd? he grew up with his mom working & all his friend's moms working. we can afford it if we cut back on some things, but he doesn't want to cut back & just doesn't understand someone wanting to be a stay at home mom...it doesn't help mycause that the grandmothers will babysit. i'm so unhappy about having to go back to work...he wants me to work full time 1 more year & just doesn't get it! i feel like my heart is being ripped from my chest every time i hink about it.

"There is more tangible physical evidence for the Bible than for any other work of literature. Those who contend otherwise simply have not studied the Bible, relying on hearsay and speculation instead; or refuse to believe its truth;"

Again, To believe it's truth of what...?

4. That human nature is evil?

I happen to think human nature is good.

What you call "sin", I call human nature.

Don't try to debate my ideas of religion based on anything in that post. It wasn't referring to a religious truth or belief in the least bit.


If you're trying to get me heated by disagreeing with my religious beliefs, you're barking up the wrong tree because nothing you've stated is anything remotely close to what I believe.

So how many is that...12 total?

Is this what you mean by, "the same caregiver for several years, thru several siblings?"

I'm not trying to debate or start a debate here. I'm just throwing out my "opinions". In fact, I really didn't expect you to respond to my "opinions" at all, as they are just that, *my* "opinions.

oh get real..........my kids are 8 years and 6 years apart in age and have been raised in different states, so of course they have not had the same caregivers. While we have certainly kept in touch with past caregivers we didnt expect them to move halfway across the country with us. people with children closer in age than mine do retain the same caregiver thru siblings many times.

How many caergivers/teachers has your child had. Lets see she had a kindy teacher and how ever many grades she has completed. Is that what you mean by the same caregiver/teacher?

I see you ignored the fact that sah/woh had NO IMPACT on the number of caregivers.

I prefer the soft fuzzy animals to reptiles, but ikei said when you have kids you gotta do what you gotta do. See, i didnt realize having pets counted as a homeschooling science activity. In that case we homeschool like crazy what with the rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, cats and dogs.

To avoid confusion in the future, maybe you should petition ivilllage to start a post your opinion board versus just posting your opinion on a debate board?

The divine/supernatural aspecxts of the bible are not relevant here, nor are they why people brought up the bible as a reference. What is relevent- and what has been verified by archeologists- is biblical portrayals of what daily home life was like. We are not arguing about whether or not Moses talked to God personally. We are arguing about whether or not the references to women who had to leave their homes to go work for somebody else,leaving their kids in the care of others, was accurate. There is no reason to think that biblical writers just imagined that or invented it.

Who knew I'd been homeschooling in science all this time :-)? Not only have the kids learned to understand the care, feeding and basic psychology of cats, they've had the opportunity to witness the entire reproduction of cats from mating to birth and nursing of kittens. They've also had many many lessons in the life-cycle of ticks and their various appearances (from black speck to blood-filled sack) courtesy of one cat who never met a hedge he didn't have the urge to crawl under. Just look at all those homeschooling points I'm racking up!
