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..

That education allowed you that choice.

That's great Merella! Both of my children self weaned around 7, 8 months but my target was minimum 6 months and ending around a year. I guess I enjoyed the incredible bonding experience of it(oh no...I used bonding; yikes...please don't attack me non-breastfeeders!). I would pump for DH to feed at nights or when i was going out and couldn't be there.
I still laugh thinking back to a time when I worked in an office primarily full of mid 20 to mid 30 yr old women and would regularly hear breastpumps whirring and pumping in the cubicles around me LOL...we had a great office though and the different care providers would bring kiddies in to feed at the office or pick up the mommy milk :)
Well you're right I was not involved very much in my DD potty training(admittedly don't remember it at all) but I would never have called you a marginal player? That sounds like a derogatory label under the context of the posts that were being exchanged so I just wanted to ensure that you did not mean that I would consider you such.
I would not.
Thank you, I will. OKAY...so I miss Chapters WAAAAHHHHHH....the used book store "The Owl & The Teapot" is not likely to have it....maybe the library or I guess just order it online LOL.
I appreciate the suggestion.
So what allowed you to stay home for as long as you did and not have to return to work to provide $$ for your family?

You must have me confused with another poster, I never stated anything about education being
