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 really don't understand what the big deal is here, or why it's so difficult to figure out. The poster she responded to said that their pool had limited hours (paraphrasing), and she replied with a wink, mine's always open (again, paraphrasing).
I must admit (and have in past posts) that while I loved Erica from the minute she was born, it took about 5 years before I started "liking" her.

The truth may be out there but lies are in your head. Terry Pratchett
problems with bonding overwhelmingly stem from physiological and psychological problems (the child is on the autism spectrum, the parent or child has an attachment disorder, the parent is depressed, etc.).
i returned to work about six weeks after both of my children were born (i'm ecstatic to be able to say that i'm married to one of those sissy men that so disgust you, and certain that my children's lives are a million times the better for it), and our bond couldn't possibly be stronger. the only two women who i know well who i would say clearly have forged weak bonds with their own children had were depressed for the first few years of their children's lives, and both happened to be sahps.
while attributing poor bonding to work status seems to be a pretty consistent theme among the most mean spirited of militant sahps, i have never seen anything that makes me think that the suggestion is anything but an ugly and cruel (to people who actually grapple with such physcioligical and psychologial problems, as well as to the wohps they are targeting) gambit.
