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..

Ah, thanks! I've never been beautiful, more like average looking with good hair. The nice thing about being fifty is that average looks better at fifty than it does at twenty! Things kind of even out over time, y'know.

Yup. The whole "my pool at home" context tipped me off that you were calling it open to those people living in or invited to your home. This does win the prize for absurd subthread. But only because the "it's like crack" subthread didn't turn out to have legs.

I know you won't listen, but really....stop now while you still have a semblance of sanity left!

That is it--it took me 5 years to get to know Erica. She didn't make it easy. It is much harder to "read" a person who doesn't give off any facial clues and their body clues only register the negatives.

I'll take your clarification, but still think that it's a ridiculous question. As far as I can tell, MOST moms (of all kinds -- sah & woh) are WELL bonded to their children when they are born. I can't see that being home longer would have made anyone "more" bonded as they were already bonded with their children.

great for you. Some of us had NO choice BUT to return at the end of our official leave (8 weeks for me) to keep our financial situation intact.

that's all right... it is what it is...i'll tell you a funny story. I was at my sister's house two weeks ago. I had to change alyssa so i put her on the couch. My three year old niece happened to be watching as I changed her. She piped up, "Aunt Carole, what's all that fur?" referring to the hair on her private parts. I burst out laughing!

Nope. And I'll go out on that proverbable limb and say that the majority of the board got it. We're just the silent majority.
