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?

Enjoy your three weeks and the science museum.

But cold, in and of itself, does not make you sick. That's simply a lie.
children are perfectly capable of playing outside in sub-70 degree weather all day long--presuming they are fortunate enough to be born to parents who are capable of dressing them appropriately for the weather.
I guess when children are unlucky enough to be born to Mommies who think sneakers and "black patton slides" are appropriate winter footgear, they're going to get sick a lot.
