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..

of course that is your decision to make. however, none of us (family and friends) have any issues with it at all.

thankfully, OUR approach works for us and those that we know.

I'm sure your approach seems to work, but if we all could be certain how our choices would affect our young kids, none of us would ever have any questions or doubts about them, would we?

If you doubt the sincerity of my interest in this as a topic, nothing I can do about that. And if you don't care to answer my question, ditto.

I understand that, but adults' comfort level isn't always the best guide as to what's the best thing to do in any situation.

Yes, I do KWYM, but as I said before, adults' views about childrearing do's and don'ts aren't always best, KWIM?

I don't think we can use anecdotes to guide us wrt each and every parenting question. A different child might have reacted differently. If you told that story to one hundred child psychologists or other stripe of childrearing experts, they'd probably all have a completely different take.

Then I am really confused at what is concerning you.

Of course our children always remain in some sense our babies, but still, I don't see the point in referring to a teenager with secondary sex characteristics as a baby, to a young child or to anyone at all. To me, there's a sense in which we deny a person an important piece of their humanity by calling them babies or children when they aren't any longer.

Would you have a problem with your 3 yr old seeing your neighbor walk in his backyard nude?
