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..

I hear you -- there are a few city pools I won't take Liza to even though they have waterslides and fountains b/c I don't trust their cleanliness.

A member of our Condo Board of Directors is in charge of the pool maintenanc and cleanliness, her unit is right next to th epool and she is there ALL the time, monitoring the chemical levels, cleaning it out, putting in fresh water, checking the rest rooms and deck furniture -- so i feel comfortable letting Liza swim there. My mom used to live in an apt. complex with a pool that was um...not so much about the cleanliness part...ick.

 

Yes. We. Did.

At the aftercare I went to as a kid there was a variety of activities. There was usually dodgeball or kickball or soccer going on for some kids while other kids could sit and read quietly, watch a movie (occasionally) do crafts, etc. The whole 2-3 hours wasn't like an extended gym class at all.

do you or do you not pay an extra liability on your homeowners insurance because you have a pool? that liability is nonexistent because well,we don't have a pool...and yes,mileage does vary as i wouldn't own a pool if they paid me. not all minds do think alike,you know. ;)
