Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.


I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

Sorry to be snarky, but none of those things have any nutritional value whatsoever except for maybe the yogurt. There are lots of inexpensive foods out there that actually ARE food.

Biting is a phase for ALL children, in daycare or not.

I think they would be OK from a health standpoint if you ate the box and threw away what's inside. I couldn't feed a kid anything from her list. I don't even consider what's on her list to be FOOD!

When my kids were in that stage, I made my own "lunchables". I'd buy high quality deli meat, whole-grain crackers, real cheese (not the processed "american crap") and put them in individual ziplocs in a package together.

Your original posts heavily implied that it was perfectly doable to feed a *family of 4* on $60 a week.
