I hope I don't start a big controversy, but this is a debate board right?

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?

Design you assume too much yes people come to our amusement parks I could mean Busch Gardens in Virigina, I could mean alot of things yet you assume and then say I say things. Notice this is a public message board and I am not going to give my whereabouts to strangers get a clue.

Again any assumptions were made by your false post. Being right next to a state means that your state borders it. By your logic I am next to Alaska.

Because, frankly, i think SHE'S lost track of which state she lives in. After all her talking in circles I really don't think she knows any more.

Yeah well so what? Like I am really going to tell someone on a message board where I live don't think so. But the thing is you an the others took the posts and ran which I thought was amusing. So if you all go assuming things based upon states and preferences just think what you do with the rhetoric on serious topics?

Like I said....get your story straight and then get back to us. At this point I don't think even YOU know where you live.

I know where I live however; it's none of your business and as I said this is a public message board and it's not happening.

Is this a board about SAHM VS WOHM? I know what state she lives in. She knows way to much about certain things for anyone who doesn't live in "our" state or isn't a 65 year old couple traveling in a travel trailer with an economy car in tow. It's hard to imagine that ya'll can't let go of the fact that she wants to protect her privacy. Leave her alone!!! LOL she's gotcha going!!!! LOL LOL!!!

Yeah for me being a couple states away is right next to it's not like being on the west coast or even upper east coast. So it's perspective.

No one cares where you live other than how it pertains to the original debate. You are giving out false information at your whim. Therefore you are not seen as a credible poster nor someone to be taken seriously in a debate.

On serious topics someone like you gets tossed aside as not credible. False and silly postings do not make for good serious debates. You would be blown out of the water.

I do several states away right next to it :) I live right next to NorthCarolina too. That means I am close to it. I guess you all don't use the same slang as I do. Or maybe you were being literal and wanting me to be literal as meaning living next to as in bordering the state. However; my intention in posting that wasn't that way. I did know though you all would run rampant with assumptions and the hens would go on as they do.
