And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

I'll try to explain it another way. You wrote, "And for the fifth time, because bm comes from the breast not a cup. Again, How much time and effort do you think I should put into trying to convince or persuade you otherwise?"
How about explaining why it matters? I read what you wrote and said, "So what?" WHY does it make a difference that bm comes from a breast instead of a cup? You are STILL avoiding the question.
You also wrote: "However, you still did everything right now didn't you?" Nah, I'm a realist. Sometimes, in balancing the needs of the family or balancing the needs of both kids, I did something that wasn't what another family member wanted. Sometimes I was just plain wrong. I made mistakes. I still do and always will. You too.
"But that's exactly what I *do* DO." I hope so. Your world sounds pretty grim to me.
"Show you what, that there's a difference between bfing and ffing, between SAH and WOH, between an unmedicated birth and a medicated birth? Are you serious? You want me to prove to you that there are differences between these choices? Isn't this just plain ol' common sense?"
YES, show me the difference. NO, it's not just plain ol' common sense. The literature finds NO differences in children of SAH/WOH that are more than fleeting, and you need to tell me why every bit of those decades of research must be wrong. Show me why your dd is worse off because you had a medicated birth. Show me the differences between bf and ff babies. If you can do any of that, you'll have managed to do what the world's best scientists and thinkers can't do.
You claim that results don't matter, but if that were true, why on earth would you do any of this?
And finally, I practiced many parts of AP. I co-slept. I bf for extended periods. I still think you're over the top and joyless.
And with that, I think I'm done with you. Feel free to have the last word.

So you place her in a place where she is only not educated but not cared for for 6 hours a day 6.5 months of the year, and that's good?

......and juice is not naturally from a fruit or veggie either nor does a plastic kid cup occur naturally either.

Why if you worked for the school system would she have to do any of that?
