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!

Nope that isnt necessary either. Nothing other than food and water.

I disagree. I think if you take the term necessary in a general sense it makes sense. I find it necessary to have a firmer mattress to sleep well. Others may not. I think that is the general terms to which we use necessary. Although I do understand what you are saying.
um,we can afford a mattress therefore it is a necessity for sleeping..at least for my family it is. we can afford a car therefore it is a necessity for transportation,too....if we couldn't afford these things then the word,necessity would be defined differently.
to each,really their own. :)
So, anything that can be afforded is a necessity? Shoot, guess my trip to Cozumel is a necessity. Guess a new diamond ring would be a necessity. Or shoot, a fur coat is a necessity.

You can afford a mattress and a car, and they are nice to have. But if other people can't afford them, and don't have them, and manage to survive, then they are luxuries, not necessities.
Completely off-the-subject, but have you ever played a card game called Fizzbin?
Ummm, nearly all Swedish houses and apartments have wood or laminate floors. A few area rugs might be scattered about, but I have never actually seen wall-to-wall carpeting. Most Swedes I know get icked out by the thought of that much carpeting, it just can't be kept as clean as a wooden floor.
Of course, most people also wear socks or house shoes indoors.
