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?

I do believe the OP's profile says she is in NY, like I am. Winter bootlessness is practically abusive up here.
And I doubt you've ever visited "annadale" as such a place doesn't exist. At least, not in the DC area. You *might* have visited Annandale, but I doubt anyone even gave a rats butt what kind of shoes you wore.
I know I don't.
I'm a Snow Snob, too, actually. I do better with my front wheel drive Chevy Cavalier than most of these idiots in their SUVs, but then again, i grew up in the Chicago area and spent my 4 years active duty service in Bavaria driving a deuce-and-a-half to our mountain top deployment areas--and since at that time the service didn't like to pay Germans for maneuver damage, we only deployed in the winter months (which in Bavaria means October through April).
Yes we do drink hot tea and are having some delicious sweet cakes for the holidays. And yes we read an ordinate amount of time. So books are are favorite things. Thanks so kindly for asking.
