This topic "piggybacks" on the priorities topic where we discussed what we gave up as working women and moms, what do you think our children give up...honestly!? What do you think they gain? Also please mention your own mothers status and your experience of a child as a SAH or WOH.

"I think the whole Christmas tree in October thing has been debated to death on Facebook!"

What did others say?

Sorry you don't think so.
Don't think you ever answered my question.

Don't you know that it is impossible to properly give thanks unless there are the requisite number of turkey & fall leaf decorations festooning the house? And if there are OTHER holiday decorations around, it would so clash with the turkey and fall leaf decorations, that it is JUST. NOT. DONE. (If you are normal)

Speaking of asking kids...


This morning I asked mine what he thought about this whole memory-making thing.

Some people like the idea, and have *adopted* it as their tradition, others don't like it.

Yes my ex-bf was an awesome artist. It used to upset me so when he was working on something & if he did not like how it was going, he would literally rip it up & throw it away. Of course what he ripped up & threw away, most people wouldn't have seen what the problem was with it. And most people couldn't do anything as close to nice as what was ripped up.

I didn't like it when he did that--my thought was, well just fix it, don't rip it up! Not that he listened.
