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..

"Well, I can think of one very plausible explanation, but mentioning it would be a violation of TOS."
what are you getting at? Personally email me if you have something to say that would violate TOS on this board. I'm anxious to hear what you need to say so badly.
Ah, so never was just another false statement.

The only example of that I have seen is the lake story where the poster is relying on their children following the rules (that exist at night) not to leave a certain area as well as the fact that no harm could come to them because they have grown up around this lake and therefore it's okay to swim at night.
In that case, I think you are right, there exists a false sense of security in the above, based on your definition.
I haven't seen an example of what you are talking about in regards to a pool, can you provide a post?

"I haven't seen an example of what you are talking about in regards to a pool, can you provide a post? tia."
a false sense of security in a pool is that the swimmer would maybe become a little reckless as they are close to home and feel that someone is right there to rescue them. some pools also have slides and diving boards and such.
We had a solar cover for a few years, but that was just basically a loose floating plastic bubble like thing and in fact I would think it would be more dangerous because one could get trapped under that cover.

No.....actually I was working on batting averages for my son's baseball team, went to email the coach and saw that there was a message in my inbox.

"No.....actually I was working on batting averages for my son's baseball team, went to email the coach and saw that there was a message in my inbox. It's really not rocket science, just another iv feature.
Although of course, that is totally irrelevant to the debate, nice diversion."
It's not a diversion, just a comment. I didn't mean to make you get defensive. I'm glad someone's interested in my comments, is all!
