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?

No it was stated that if you went around in their area for any length of time it was possible, and if you didn't care since you obviously know their conditions much better than they, then okay.

What you don't seem to be getting, in some areas of the country boots are NEEDED.

"We were raised that way." You were raised in an extremely warm part of the U.S., people who were raised farther north have no such rules- but we do have snow boots. Also, some of the people with kids playing in what you consider too-cold weather may be transplanted northerners who are experiencing their first southern "winter" (and it will be in quotes for a transplanted northerner)and can't believe it's still in the 40's.
And yes it was windy and not hot in Missouri that breezy cold day at the Arch that didn't show any signs of March. However; we were passing through and we caught a brew in Kansas without my sister we hit a twister ( tornado) Which kept us driving to the Canyon and we didn't get to see Mark OBannon.
hehehehe
Check out Amy Grant and how she got married. NO SHOES. Julia Roberts who lives in NYC when she got married to Lyle Lovett no shoes. NO shoes :)
However; my child has shoes and wears them to school and snow isn't her bag. What is her bag is doing things she likes to do such as playing her instruments and reading and doing school work and that sort of thing.
We have indoor soccer fields. Indoor roller rinks, Indoor icerinks. We will survive we even have skiing with fake snow and snowboarding with fake snow :) Kewl beans.

Does anyone get the feeling the op123 has a sister here?
