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!

We were talking about fraud, you stated that it was public, I asked you to prove that fraud public, you gave me something totally irrelevant.

You have to remember, this is the same person who doesn't understand why and/or doesn't care that counterfeit purses are illegal.

That's general, not specific.

<<i have friends whose dhs are on 3,5 year oil assignments in houston. >>


In my experiences, most of these people don't have to worry much about housing prices, housing issues are usually part of the package.

How is the fact that the family is on wic in the best interest of the children?
