SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs
| Tue, 02-15-2005 - 12:54pm |
I was just at the gym this morning and overheard a conversation between two women on treadmills who were discussing/debating as to whether married sahms were any more or less likely to have affairs than married wohms.
I thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.

We're not talking about children. A child who steals doesn't know any better. An adult who steals has a character flaw.
You're the one trying to make it more than it is. A flaw is a flaw. A weakness is a weakness.
And for the record, my statement wasn't the ironic one. So your (yawn) personal attack is simply funny. And somewhat ironic.
>>It's kind of like separating the child from the behaviour ya know? The child isn't bad, but he did a bad thin
well put. case in point is when my dds and I were at walgreens the other week. we were there to buy one thing and one thing only ~ my girls, 7 and 5, were tempted by cute jewlery in the cosmetic area and they stole it w/o me seeing it. They knew that what they did was wrong but they attempted it anyway to see if they could get away with it. when we returned these rings, I asked to talk to the manager so the girls had a front and center authoritive direction and discipline from that store. It helped.
for TM to say that kids steal because well.....because they know no better is silly.
But that isn't what TM said. . .TM wasn't referring to children.

I was trying to grabble some of the conversation before jumping in.....this is what TM said and it isn't an accurate assessment if you and trying to support an argument by shoving the difference between what an adult does and what a child does.
Your children didn't know better. They might have had some vague idea that it was wrong, but they didn't really understand what that meant. They were testing. Kids don't always get it right the first time. They might try it again; they might not. But if they keep doing it repeatedly
