Would you let a self professed doctor, who never graduated from medical school, treat your child?

Gosh but I hope you never end up anywhere where there are actual children depending upon you to be a teacher. What sort of room is that, where your daughter spends her days?

And for the record...what sort of employee does have to go in to work on snow days? Heck...I not only get the ones that affect my neighbourhood and hence my chidren's school...but also the ones that affect cities 40km to the north and 40km to the south of me. Bwahahhahahahha.

At 48 she can just go quit and if noone knows anything they'll assume she retired - just like the men. Because there is no "just like the woman" typical behavioru to assign to 48 yr old female engineers. Unfortunately, at childbearing age a female engineer who just had a baby can't quit and be assumed to have retired - just like the men. Because themen don't do that. Or to have gone to sah - just like the men because the men don't do that. They could assume she has gone to a new job - just like the men. But being as she's a woman and there is that much more typical behaviour of quitting to sah after babies, just like the women, thats what they'll assume. And they'll be right most of the time. Until such time as women stop making it such typical female behaviour. Either by not doing it as women, or by choosing husbands wiht comparable or less earning power as often as they choose those men who have more.

So like I said, you couldn't manage to parent babies and support them financially at the same time. Thought so. How did your husband manage?

You do realize that these women who take no responsibility for their family's financial situation often have dh's who take no responsibility for any of their childrens needs (beyond financial)
