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?

Maybe if some of you could afford to do so you might stop criticizing those that are able to."
Hey, now that's just mean. What if some of us can't afford to read or dress as nicely as you and yours? I mean come on, we all can't own black patent leather slides, can we?
But then again, given your record on just about everything, it's not much of a surprise to learn you're wrong....again.

That's all right, you're confused. Take an ibuprofen with a little wine chaser and you'll feel much better.
Yes, I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to work but I do anyway, it keeps me out of trouble. Merry christmas back at you.
Somehow I doubt it. Maybe she lives in a special place in Ohio, KWIM?
