how do i convince my husband
| Mon, 07-18-2005 - 4:09pm |
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.

It's still all based on opinion :) And as far as I can recall, the poster in question *was* backing up their positions- with the sources that they'd used to form/support them as well as explainations of her logic. That those sources are not viewed as credible and that logic is not viewed as sensible by the other poster does not mean that sources and logic were not provided :)
(And yes- I'd agree- that *is* what makes it interesting ;)

You do know, or have read that this child also attends school fulltime during the school year and is homeschooled in addition to the public school education?
Oh and can you break down how 3 hours a day is eaten up with lunch and class changes?

In recent history I'd agree with the convenience issue, but at what point do *you* believe alternate methods of feeding for reasons of 'mothers convenience' started to be practiced? (Or, to make it easier- started to be commonly practiced)?

You don't see or know the difference between participating in a debate between people versus

Can you provide some back up for this?

There is opinion you can support and opinion that is just personal prejudice. The latter isn't debatable, the former is.
If you offer non-credible sources in a debate, expect to be shot down. Debate material has to have credibility or logic behind them or they are useless. You can't convince someone of your point if your sources of support are questionable and you can't offer a logical argument for why you're right. You'll just get dismissed as being prejudiced and you should be.
I do love to see research data debated. Especially by the experts. I find it amazing how two people can read the same study and draw different conclusions. You need to understand both sides in order to have a clue as to what is really being said by the research.
