I was reading another board about sneaking purchases past their husband's. I know I use to sneak before we started doing our finances together. I would actually come home during lunch to get the mail or unload packages. I was pitiful. Even now, I will bring things in the house and wince thinking how upset Devin would be with me.
So, have you ever hid purchases or not told your DH the whole picture of your finances? We use to horrible fights about finances. I would do the weekly budget and e-mail him it. We would discuss it and everything was fine. Then, he would tell me two days later that he was doing a marathon that cost $75.00. I had to actually ask him before we did the budget-Do you have any marathons? Do you need shoes? Do you have any equipment you need? Can you tell I

You: "Oh..I'm so sorry. Even my kids, while still young have had some great teachers who HAVE loved my sons. I was just talking to his K teacher today and she was so happy to have him back at school after being sick for two days...and as she said 'I really love the little guy'. Maybe I can see now where you are coming from, if you have never had any adults in your life that have made a positive love experience than you might not know it's out there." Me: Where is that coming from? It's unnecessarily manipulative.
In addition, I'm sure you have me confused with someone else. Where have I posted anything in a voice even arguably militant SAHM-ish? Did I say I think all women should SAH?
Huh?

Funsahm also stated that wohms are losing some kind of valuable parent-child connection. No one is saying both parents should stay home-but why is it okay for the working parent (dad) to lose that valuable connection???? How is it dad manages to work and still have a connection to his kids??

I think after the first WOHM pointed out that she's truly a PT WOHM, you can use your common sense - just like a jury does, right? I think we all know when someone's not being forthcoming.
This is a debate board. Tempers are going to flare and sarcasm abounds. If you can't take it, you might want to find yourself a nice friendly safe support board.

For me, and my ignorant comment to lois, it was that I don't feel comfortable measuring or evaluating the right size for my childrens' feet (which appear to be a bit unusual per this thread) and that I had no clue Payless or any more reasonable places had measure-it-yourself metal thingys.
I see paying the higher price in order to get the service, and the reassurance re: sizing, not just quality.
