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..

No, I think they compliment each other.

Curious....you have never been to a private backyard swimming pool?


Oh and you don't think it's necessary for a lifeguard at a lake?

Should I whip out my "My dh got bit on the penis by a fish" lake story to liven things up?

It isn't as exotic as jellyfish but I do get to use my favorite cheeky references to male genitalia.

Or even a non-swimming 2-year-old having a tantrum.

What's really scary is if you google Stay-at-home-Moms, children, and bathtubs. Ai-yi-yi!

Most what I saw on google was buying a bathtub and bathtub safety. Again I am capable of handling the situations with my bathtub. We are all just different I guess. I still cant imagine the cost you incur with lifeguards that are MD's every night for a bath. It must get pretty crowded in there.

I am shocked.

Your question.

Like you that is what I think. I think what you say is more important than an icon.

You already said...it was used in a joking manner. I believe I already said that. However this was clarified after many posts on the subject.

Yeah, it's getting a bit crowded as my children get older. We are thinking that we may allow the fifteen year old to start bathing by himself with just the monitor on in the next year or two.
