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 use the dept. store cards to get coupons. I get $10 coupons from the Gap everytime I use it and Kohl's send 15%. I saved hundreds of dollars, almost $1,000 on the home depot card when I opened it to do the kitchen. These are always paid off any month I use them.
One more year and daycare will be over though so that will be a huge expense lifted from us.
Pet Health Insurance? Never heard of that before.
I am aware of how much food costs etc. But I also said I do not use litter, we live on a fair sized piece of land with a field that is not really used, and our cat goes in there. (at least I think he does)
A pet doesn't have to be a large cost. But, also, if you are not prepared to pay it, or if anyone is going to complain about the cost, I suggest not getting pets.

And? That's irrelevant as we're not talking about WOH. No one said WOH was a privilege or an advantage.
<< too bad some wohms CAN'T share the same sentiment about sah. >>
Sure, some can't. But *some* isn't enough to meet the definition of privilege; that would require MOST.

Whatever. There are hundreds of thousands of WOHMs that could do exactly what you do.

Abusing? No. It's their money. Not taxpayer money. Committing fraud via the credit system? Yep.
Taxpayers don't pay for losses due to bankruptcy. Customers of the non-paid companies do, but it isn't tax money.
