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 sound just like me! Neighbors have been by me for 30 years. We all know each other very well and even if the kids I grew up with moved away, their parents are still there and we still talk to them.
I LOVE the word vent. I consider my "complaining" venting!!!
<Nope, not knocking her. Simply pointing out that car repairs should not be considerd an *emergency*. If you own a car, expect to repair it. >
*disclaimer these figures are general ball park I can't remember the exact amount.
