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!

Meghan's law has nothing to do with investigations. It simply requires convicted sex offenders to be on the registry. That proves nothing about whether agencies respond to tips of illegal or fraudulent activity.

Whatever--the whole discussion was knowing your neighbors for a long time. 34 or 36 years to me is a long time.

They started with the sex offender and then someone reported the wic.

She asked me the website and I gave it to her.

Yes.

But I really have a hard time believing future posts from people who have made obviously dishonest ones in the past.

Whatever. I find it very ridiculous and I think everyone else would. You are just trying to reach to catch me in a lie and you can't.

No, she asked you for a website that proved your point that if someone reports fraud, the agencies don't respond. Meghan's Law does not do that.

Nah. ... I think credibility really hasn't been an issue for a long time.
