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..

"Do all of you folks you are objecting to her original wording have vast experience with private backyard pools being open to everyone who walks into them at ANY time? Or maybe regular open hours that your neighbors have?"

I can't speak for any other "folks" but I do not have experience with anyone with a pool saying that their pool is "open 24/7", no.

"When your friends say to you (assuming they do, maybe not),"

was this a joke, haha
"Come visit anytime you're in town!" do you take it to mean come on by and hop in the pool 24/7?"

What does this have to do with anything that was said?

It was pretty big in the news lately. I had a few different people I know email me the story. Very sad story. But again it is a freak accident.

How would the cm's know that the poster is joking or not? If you and I knew each other and I told you that I love wine and in another post I pressed the winkie icon and stated "you know me, I hate wine". How would the cm's know what is true or not?

I am trying to understand the mindset of anyone who claims not to understand PumpkinAngel's original comment. Everyone here appears to be at least of average intelligence, with normal understanding of the written word. I fail to see why people are having so much trouble with her comment. It is very odd. One even wonders whether there is some attempt going on to make PumpkinAngel seem foolish for making a joking comment and expecting that people would not see the joke. If so, it's not working. PumpkinAngel does not come out of all this looking foolish.
