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 believe that post was to mb2 and thanks for the hugs, back at you...and I'm also glad we have the whole thing straight, "all" or across the board on anyone wasn't ever being discussed.


It's kinda interesting being on the same side of the debate with the memory things, you really had some great posts on the topic.

"seems this was an ongoing debate.

What gave you that idea?"

Your post here: I think the whole Christmas tree in October thing has been debated to death on Facebook!

"I wonder why if they were such good friends and KNOW about this posters tradition.

What difference do you think this would make?"

Because good friends would know your traditions and not make it into an ongoing debate.

Yes it was something like that, but I think it was actually for our whole town. I don't know, it was back during my oldest child's preschool days. And I didn't go to the ceremony. Like you, the certificate is buried somewhere! ; )
