SAH/WOH - Why?
| Mon, 02-20-2006 - 7:41am |
I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.
Why did you decide to sah/woh?
Was it a choice or something expected of you?
Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

You are wrong.

In 1999 they were first in class for safety.

***If I'd been you, I would have kept the truck I had for a few more years or bought a used car to use for a few years. Obviously, that's not something you would consider.***
How in the world could you determine that? You have no idea the condition of my vehicle or why we traded it in. No it wasn't something I would consider. I will have this SUV for 3 yrs and it will be paid in full when I return to work with about 30-35K miles on it. It was a very wise decision.
***Even if she wasn't carpooling when she bought the car, you've been driving an suv the whole time you've had kids *and* before. Your suv uses more fuel and emits more pollution than hers, and you've *never* carpooled. So yeah, she's been more energy conscious than you have.***
No I haven't carpooled. My son is only 6. He started playing baseball last fall. He is playing this spring. I may very well be carpooling his buddies...we will see. Well let's see...if we are going to travel the whole energy thing. I actually don't have an office. So my SUV is my office. I use less than a lot of people that work in a building that is lit, heated and aired. Talk about pissing match.
***You've been a sahm for 6 years, right? And you say you only drive 10K/yr now, right? But you replaced your car last year. So where did all these miles come from? How many miles did you have on your previous car?***
Yes
Yes Now I do.
Yes I did.
Well lets see...I had a baby. I also went through a pregnancy. I have only put 10K miles on this truck so far. I drive less now than I did 4 yrs ago. I live about 30 minutes from our dr office and about 45 min from our pediatrician. So during my pregnancy and the first year of my dd life I drove a lot.

What would you suggest then, if your child applies for and wins one of the scholarships John got. Your kid is eligible to apply for it. It's a highly prestigious internship--a rare, paid, high school level internship with a federal government agency that employs thousands in the computer science fields and one that is a virtual shoo-in for the later, college-level internships (where college is fully paid and all school breaks, the student is fully employed IN his field of study). It's one of the easiest ways to get a clearance since the government pays it all and makes the awardees HIGHLY employable (even out of high school, let alone college).
so if Petey or Joey were to apply for and win one of the scholarships, how would you and your dh arrange for him to get from his school to the internship every day for half a day? (Fort Meade).
