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..

In life, some mysteries should stay mysteries ;)
actually, with the 3 year old I thought that she was watching the movie on TV (Lady & the Tramp!). However, neither my sister nor I had any problem with her watching me change Alyssa. If my sister had any issue with it at all she would have let me know. For us, we just call it "life with Alyssa". No one makes a big deal out of needing to change her on a couch.

I didnt debate her pool hours. I asked her a question.
Editted to add that the forum tends to branch off into all sorts of discussions. You personally attacking me had nothing to do with the debate at hand. That is the point that I was making. I thought it was pretty clear.

I don't know...I'm with Carole...the less of a big deal that's made about things, the more matter of fact you are the easier it is in the long run. I grew up with a mom who just hated to admit anyone even HAD a body let alone talk about how everything worked and how some people were different from one another. I'm much more matter of fact with liza and living just the two of us she has a very healthy matter of fact attitude about bodies, nudity and bodily functions. A few weeks ago when my period started on a Monday and I had some bad cramps she said "well momma, at least you'll be finished by the time we go to the beach on Sunday" and I though 'wow... she gets it' (of course this is also the kid that goes to pick out my multipack boxes of tampons for me in the drugstore..)
but I think in the case of Carole's duaghter I'd be inclined to treat things the same...this is family, this is life with our special child who has special needs and it's no big deal. Any questions that arise I'd answer as honestly as possible taking into account the age of the child.
Yes. We. Did.
