Top 3 Excuses I Can't Stand from WOHMs..

1. We NEED two incomes to survive... Yeah Right! I honestly believe that out of the people that say this 90% would be just fine if they would cut their lifestyle, move to a cheaper area and sacrifice. I am not buying it one bit when people say this.

2. I put my kid in Daycare for the socialization.. Good grief, how much socialization does a 10 month old need?? Besides there are better ways to much socialize young children.

3. I am a better mom if I work outside the home.. UGHH! How in the world do you think you are a better mom by handing your kid off to Grandma or someone else to raise while you go work?? Unless you are going to beat them or verbally abuse them, I always think at home with mom is where kids thrive the most..

THere are others I can't stand, but these are my top 3. Have at it..

Eh, there are pros and cons to every country's norms. There are a lot of things in Canada that I feel are outrageous and somewhat *Behind the times*.

You are surprised someone gave their opinion on a debate board?

her diaper is usually changed in her bedroom on her bed. Every now and then she gets changed on the living room couch. We're all so used to seeing her that none of us give it any thought. She functions like a 2-month old so she doesn't think about it in any way.

I'm not sure what 3 year old you're referring to? My other kids are sd 9, dd 11 and ds 15.

when responding, I forgot to mention that we were at my sister's house. I was not going to carry her up a flight of stairs (she's 60 pounds!) and the bathroom is less of an option as she needs to be laid down flat. Therefore, the couch was the best of the options available.

My sister had no problem with it -- and I'm sure we'll tell the "fur" story for years to come, LOL!

Wait...I thought it was me that got the compliment? Did you get one too?

Yes when that opinion has nothing to do with the debate at hand.

That is rather ironic coming from someone debating pool hours in a thread about excuses from WOHM's.
