Staying at home a choice??
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 6:46am |
The author of this article thinks most mothers go to work because they want to, not because they have to.
"Most parents from two-parent families today do have a choice when it comes to parental care. They can try and talk themselves into believing they don't, but it really boils down to priorities."

Does anyone (other than her) really believe this? I don't know of anyone among my friends who works who wouldn't rather be staying at home with their children. But they don't have the choice!

"I'm sure we have all put something on credit for a 'nice to have thing' that we didn't pay off right away."
No, neither janet_lynn nor I have done so.

Never? Ever? Even as a student? Or a single working person?
I guess it depends on your disposable income.
I make pretty decent money, and DH doesn't have to worry about working at the moment. In fact there is a good possibility of a raise soon with the business that my company has been doing. Even then, I would still put the odd large purchase on a card. Whether it be an appliance or a computer. I could pay it off quickly, but I would still have it on credit.
Forgive me for the mistake.

Perhaps you could point out where I suggested it was a bad thing?
Thanks.
