Staying at home a choice??

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!

Then why did you use "i know someone in social services" as the answer to "how do you know things have been reported and nothign happened?"

When you go to a dealer. Not a local mechanic.

Investigations into abuse of public assistance programs are not public.

The entire tone of your posts was that you've lived in the house for the past 35 years. Which is untrue. It may help you support your weak argument, but only for the short amount of time it takes the rest of us to figure out that you are stretchign the truth.

Someone being public is not an assumption. The wic part is knowledge of the ex-friend (whom I talk with).

Because I do know the person who investigated it. The person I speak with knows she is still on wic so nothing was done to stop it.

No, this was another situation in the house with the same family.

Of course, on a new car that's the best way, imo.
