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.

"Keep *doing* what you want, but *call* it something other than homeschooling."
No :)
"To insist on the objective superiority of utterly impractical childrearing practices that produce (at best) an incremental benefit to the baby (and in some cases none at all) is self deluded glorification of the mother's role."
I do not believe in objective truth nor objective superiority, especially when it comes to this debate. How exactly can I insist upon something that I do not believe in?
"As others have said, a mother who clings to these practices against all reason would be well advised to get and enjoy a life of her own."
Against all reason huh? And what reasons (or line of reasoning) are those LOL ?
"For the record, the reason I find your misuse of the word homeschooling so offensive and annoying is 1)it is a mockery of true homeschooling and 2)it is unbelievably arrogant."
And once again, *your* opinion doesn't make it so ;)
"You do know how silly this is, considering who you are disagreeing with here?"
No I don't, perhaps you could enlighten me :)
You don't believe in the objective superiority of your childrearing practices? Then what on earth have you been posting about without end?
"Against all reason", as in logic or rational thought.
Let me explain this SLOWLY. You brought the site up, I told you it appears biased it is up to YOU who wants it believed to prove it's not. One only need spend about two minutes on this site to know it has an agenda.
Produce another site that isn't biased or forget it. You, obviously, can't support the credibility of the site you posted. No one, except you apparently, is going to assume something is correct just because it's posted on the internet. You do realize that just because something is posted doesn't mean it's right, right? You selected a heavily biased site. Find another objective one. None of us are going to accept what is printed on a biased site as fact.
If you think it is, then prove it.
