Thanks for the clarification...i just find it weird how you and others talk about others in a room as if they are invisible...i find it odd strange behavior is all.

I would be pleased as punch if no one agreed with me...others agreement has nothing to do with my personal emotions...just thought id clue you in on that.

Well thats great for you!!
I wasn't saying that your kids need a sahm. I'm saying that mine do. and there is alot of things I do with my children that I wouldn't have the opportunity to do with them if I was a working mom. But thats my perogitive. and I'm not judging you for yours!

You are right on the money. I try to make sure I do everything as my sister would do. Her number one rule is for her kids to be respectful and to be on their best behavior, which is something they have no problem doing.

I find that "changing the structure of my home" to be a fair trade when it

ITA>>> i have to admit i have read here on and off for some time and i have heard the argument from WOHM many many times they are WOH to raise their daughters to become self sufficient individuals to WOH to have a successful career like their mothers to not depend on others for income and survival. That imo has everything to do with work statis and how you raise your chidlren.

How exactly are you not a part of raising those kids? Arent you installing those morals and values arent you giving them shelter food clothes love and care. I would not chnage the strucuture of my home to keep my sisters children out of foster care...i would create a "balance" but my own families needs comes first.

I see that you are childless so this is kind of moot since i have a large family and it would be a complety differnt situation.

Your independent attitude is admirable, but even if you're fine with nobody agreeing with you, I'm pretty sure you'd like to be clearly understood, and many of us are trying to do that.

Are you saying that if you were to tke in your siblings children, you would put your children's needs ahead of their's? WHen they are living with you? Depending on you?

PNJ didn't say how she parents isn't part of her identity, in fact she said the opposite.

It would be virtually impossible to make myself more clear so if somone is not understanding they are intentionally missing the opinions and views b/c they dont agree....i did not imply anything was rude or offensive or am i directing talking about a familiar position. i thought your post was odd... strange that's all ... no big deal just something i wanted to point out.
