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?

"Guess what I live right next to Michigan and tons of us do not have boots."
If you live right next to a state then that means that your state borders it. So any assumptions were made based on your false posts.
And so far the folks here haven't put on their boots. They don't even put them on in the rain however; you ran with your own interpretation of my posts. Which I was showing my mother since she is here and she laughed at you all.
Maybe Florida isn't the only state we have to worry about literacy in.
Also Susan did you live in Northern OHIO? That might explain all the snow. I do know that they get snow more so then the southern part. Now watch Design with run with this cause god forbid I might have family living or going to school there that I speak and visit. And I didn't wear boots to any of these visits.
1. morals and values do start at home -- given good parents. nothing about woh prevents one from teaching these to their children.
2. strangers are not, did not, have not, will not be raising my kids. that is MY job.
3. children can be in FT dc/preschool and they are STILL the parents TOP priority. working does not change any of that.
no re-evaluating of priorities needed.
