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..

"So then you don't agree with mban as she stated that she has a sense of security allowing her children to swim in the lake at night, but doesn't have that same security in a pool...".

Where did I say that? I feel there's more of a false sense of security in a pool than a lake.

Everyone else would have to scale a locked fence, making them trespassers in the eyes of the law- which would side with pumpkinangel in the case that a fence scaling trespasser drowned.

It is open to her family. Everybody else needs to be let in through the LOCKED GATE- thus they are supervised.

It's not closed to the people who are able to unlock it- which is ONLY pumpkinangel and her family. So to pumpkinangel+family (who can unlock it) it is open 24/7. To everybody else, it is closed.

You said "stumbling"- which is done accidentally. Scaling a locked fence is purposeful and illegal. If you are going to allow illegal fence scaling into this discussion, ALL pools are "open" 24/7.

I figured it out because she described her pool as being in her backyard and fenced (and locked). Therefore I assumed it was accesable only to people who were 1)in her backyard and 2)allowed into the locked area: that limits it to family and invited guests.

Good for you. So many parents these days seem to abdicate all responsibility where the safety of their children is concerned.
