You sure are in a benevolent mood! I have to get off this board and take my kids to the county fair right now. It will be our first time to the fair without a stroller, without a diaper bag-- can I handle it? I am going to have a greasy corn dog and a chocolate malt and not worry about the calories. I am going to make my kids walk through the horse barn and the cattle barn and then we are going to watch pigs and sheep being judged. I love the fair!

Have a good weekend. I'm outta here.

WHO CARES??? What difference does it make if you think they learn it from you BEST? That's ridiculous. Role models are EVERYWHERE. Whether they influence your kids MORE or LESS than you and your DH do, they're STILL influencing them.

But there's a chance you could be doing the opposite. You won't know for years.

So why do I work when my mother and all the other mothers on my block were SAHMs? That's all I knew growing up, yet I went to college and have been working since I was 16. Some kind of role model my mom was...huh.

So, you really CAN'T answer the question, can you?

You've been asked to repeatedly & continue to wrap yourself all the way around it without addressing the DIRECT question.

Yet you've asked repeatedly & been answered what contributions a SAHM makes but you just ignore those also.

Unless you can actuallly supply an ANSWER directly to the question, don't bother to reply & waste up board space.

We've heard enough of all the other crap.

No dear. Not positive. Just not as negative as the alternative.
