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.

Popping babies out


Every year is natural


and is optimal

Do you have a study that compares maternal care with any form of other care (parental, grandparent, daycare, etc)?

Growing, catching and killing ones own food is natural and optimal.


It is so unnatural to go to a store and buy food that is packaged&loaded with unnatural things.

Grass is natural


Tampons are not natural


Nature is a witch

How is it extreme if the parking lot is small and unable to accomodate more than the staff's cars? Are you assuming that all school parking lots are big enough for this?

DD's school was built in the 20's in the heart of a tightly packed residential area. Since that time, it has expanded as much as it can. No more expansion would be possible without an eminent domain coup that razed two or three of the bordering homes and turned their property into parking lot. Making the parking lot "staff only" is not extreme in the least. And no, this situation is not unique.

I'm just trying to guess
if our grass tampons are hemp
or Kentucky blue
