For all the stay at home moms, yes I'm one of them. I have one question, do you plan on going back to work once all of your children are in Elementary school? Or do you like staying at home and have decided to never work again? I am just curious, my husband and I have talked about it. I am mainly home just for my kids, to be here when they come home from school is nice, but, I tend to get bored easly, so I have decided once my 3 year old enters into Elementary school, I will be going back to work. I have thought and thought about this, my husband is fine if I decide not to work or if I decide to go back and work. We are financially stable so I can choose to stay home if I want. I would be working so i won't be bored, while the kids are at school all day long. I do plan on working part time, so i can be home when they get home from school. I'm not the type to sit around and do nothing all day, right now my kids are home half the day at least my 5 year old is, so I have her, and my youngest to be home for. I just can't envision myself sitting here all day long with no children around, going gee what do i do now, ain't gonna happen.
I'm done rambling, waiting for replies!!!!

>>the other one has to be an enabler. If the <<
true. i enable a work habit that includes 14 hour days sometimes,i have to. my only alternative would be to find a job myself and *demand* that his schedule change to accomodate and cooperate with dc arrangements. adn because dh is a healthy income earner for this household,i don't have to do that.
but i can't deny that i don't enable because i must...nor can i deny that this arrangement sucks sometimes. it does but so is life.

i disagree. my two school age children are daughters and i do *not* think they would be better influenced by a male lead at their school.......maybe i would feel differently if they were boys but i've got a couple more years before ds starts school. and gee,ds is off to a great start with only female teachers at the preschool he attends. shock? hardly!
p.s. you say (we) need more men at the elementary level...if it's that important in early years,why start there and not preschool?
Again, its an implication, one you've made clear. I personally find it kind of insulting for someone to imply that I'm less than honest or that I am *kidding myself* about what level of partnership my marriage entails. As someone who places personal integrity and honesty fairly high on my list of accomplishments, I dont like even a vague inference of that nature. But then, I tend to take people at their word and at face value unless they show me otherwise.

What is wrong with the idea of girls being taught by male teachers? I dont get it.

Why?
