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!

You stated "Sorry...but a used mattress within my home would consitute that being thrown out and it would be necessary to purchase a new one."

You stated "Before I slept on that mattress I would have bought a mattress regardless of the interest rate on the card. You dont need to justify buying a new mattress."
You are correct, in your post of "I would have borrowed the money from my parents. If one cant afford to purchase a mattress..one should probably not be living on their own." you did not use the word new. But it is very obvious from your previous posts that that was what you were talking about since (according to you) a used mattress is unacceptable. If sleeping on a used matress is unacceptable then buying a used matress would also be unacceptable.
different strokes. I go once per season -- summer & winter and then I'm basically done.
