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.

My kids love bacon. I have to admit not being all that crazy about it, but I do sacrifice for them and prepare the traditional Bacon Day meals with them, even if it means missing out on the sales at the mall.

Wow. I follow several blogs of people I don't even know, because they are such good writers and I enjoy their material. Who knew you were not supposed to read stuff on the web unless you know the people personally? I mean, if you don't want strangers reading your stuff and looking at your pictures, wouldn't you put it on a protected site?

Please. Stop with the making things up. It's getting really old.

yes,some sacrifices aren't worth it for some families..like buying candy and chosing not to share it.

That's uncalled for. You have no idea about the sacrifices this woman's family is and isn't willing to make, and your comment about her choosing not to celebrate Halloween really goes against what you just said about differences being beautiful.
