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!

There are antiques and then there are antiques. I can't find a good link, but the trade definition of antiques includes that the piece be at least 100 years old and has something about it which is rare; it's usually a period piece. Only then would it be more valuable than a piece of recent manufacture. I'm sure I could walk into a nearby "antique" store and be overcharged for estate furniture made in the 1950's. But that doesn't make the object an antique.

lucky you :). and the fact that your wood is installed *and* stained is what separates your real wood from the refurbished sorts....laminite is the flooring we have in our den and dining room. it looks like the real stuff but isn't. when we first moved here,i told our realtor i wanted a home with the *real* stuff as we had had that before. but he said something about foundation and shifting,that none of the homes have real wood. sigh.
pergo is cheap and looks cheap. blech.
