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..

It's not that I'm imagining you make some sort of show about Alyssa's diaper change, not at all. I'm just somewhat taken aback by what seems to me your casual approach about other children, and such a young one, being exposed to it, and your apparent lack of concern about privacy when changing your dd.

I don't know; if it's okay with you, and the kids want to help, then why not? This issue just got me thinking, but if you don't think there's anything here to think about, then that's okay with me.
I tend to see it from the POV of "What would a 13yo want?" I talked it over a little bit with my 2 teen dd's, and their reaction was like, "Ew, gross, I wouldn't want anybody at all to see me in the bathroom". They're not especially modest or anything and have no problem with seeing each other or even their mom in the nude, but they draw the line at bathroom functions. They think one should be guided by how a teen might feel if she were capable of giving her opinion, and they cannot imagine not being pretty modest about using the bathroom. I'm sure other teens feel differently, but faced with a teen I can't communicate with, I'd err on the side of assuming they're more on the modest side.
Well, I mentioned ds not being disturbed because you kept insisting that your main issue was with the effect on the 3 year old.
as this is my daughter whom I have cared for for the last 13 years, I will wholeheartedly and unequivocally disagree.
she may be 13 chronologically, but she IS an infant and IS my baby. I know that you just can't understand that as you have NOT lived it.
