I just have to ask those working moms....How do you do it?????
I am a Step-mom to two boys ages 6 and 9. I have a three year old that has been in minimal nursery school since he was one. He only goes three days a week for a couple of hours.
My step-sons BM (birth mother) just had a baby with her BF and this is her schedule:
She drops my step-sons at school to the morning-care program at 7:15AM (school starts at 8:45AM). She then drives her three month old baby to an in-home sitter that has five or six other kids at 7:45AM and then goes to work. She picks the baby up at 6:00PM and then she picks my SS up from after-care at 6:15PM (their school is over at 3:10PM). So my ss's are at school each day for 11 hours and the three month old baby is at a sitters for 10 hours each day!
Doesn't that seem like a lot! I just don't understand this. I offered to watch my SS's and she let me for two weeks and then got mad at my DH and put them back in the scholl child care program.
Why would you bother having children if someone else is going to raise them for you?

In fact despite some of you some of the children that do play out in the colder weather here their parents are thought to be negligent and admonished by neighbors and such. I don't care as long as it's not my child live and let live.
Look if you want your children out in 50 below then fine put them out there. I am just saying mine won't be out there and I am not going to support a school or any other type of facility that would encourage children to be out in cold weather all the time. I see no problem if they want to build a snow man or go sled riding if there is enough snow to do it or go skiing. However; she doesn't like to participate in those things much. She prefers other things.
And I really don't care what your kids do or don't do just as you don't really care what my child does or doesn't do.
Where we live doesn't necessitate boots so get off the boot issue. Gestapo.
My child didn't go to daycare. I didn't fall into the category of stay at home or working I did both and then some. She did go to preschool and I was there with her.
Is that a Hawaii Five-O reference?
