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..

But according to you, children in aftercare are forced to nap, which suggests that they would be better rested and therefore calmer than kids who go straight home.

hee...

I know that at Liza's aftercare they have to get their homework done before they have play time etc... so when Liza comes home, her work is done, she's run around the playground with her friends (weather permitting), she's had some quiet reading time, she's had a snack, and she's completely unwound from school and ready to settle in for dinner and the evening (or in the spring and summer -- swimming, dinner adn the evening!)

 

Yes. We. Did.

Don't you love that? Mine did that, too. He did the same thing with complaining. Kept it all to himself until he got home, then wanted to unload it all on me when he got home.

Once a teacher called me about something and said, "He's just so positive and never complains about anything!" I'm thinking, "I'm sorry...I think you may have called the wrong person's mother..."

Don't you think people value things more if they have to work harder to obtain them?

Because it would be a contradiction if one sends a child to school, for about the same number of hours that someone sends a child to daycare and claims that "school" is perfectly acceptable, but good quality daycare is not.

See, there is not a significant difference in any of those three for me personally.

<<what more expenses do you have being a wohm over sahm? >>


Outside of taxes, I don't....as I said, it costs me very little in terms of "expenses" to woh.


<<you've shared thta ctwoh allows the things for your boys that sah could not. >>


Yes, they are able to participate in better quality (read more expensive) activities due to my woh.
