What kind of errands....
2007

Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

You just want to stay in your own fantasy land apparently.

Uh. So in other words you maintain work status is totally irrelevant because of backup numbers. Ok.

No it necessarily means that statistically speaking she IS considerably less reachable than then wohm. The cell phone is up to the average sahp. The work number, not so much up to the average wohp.

Lets just hope her goal was winning. And unless she was like 4, thats not a good thing. Doesn't describe a child with much of a team focus. I guess she was out there to do what suited her at the time. Lets hope you are unfairly misjudging your own child.

That no score thing is just a feel good fantasy solution for parents. Its not for kids. The kids still know the score. Those with suitably developped focus and concentration, and thats actually most of them by 4, and certainly 5, will know the score. Including who on their team scored and how many. My kids played soccer this year at the highest level possible for her ages. My daughter played through f, m and d. My son played through k, l and m. You have just no clue about what is what.

If your goal wasn't winning you were a burden to your team.

No. It isn't very common, anywhere. Anywhere, having a baby over 35 makes you the odd woman out. Its not something that gets common anywhere. It just is somewhat less unusual in some places. Probably less unusual where I am, than in New England.

Yes meaning they had their babies at what age, exactly?

My rebuttal was right on. Kids didn't make it one iota more difficult for me to hit the slopes. In fact, its been easier since having them. I also discussed how the logistics are now no more difficult. Kids did not make anything particularily any way for me. Because they didn't happen in a vacumm, and I don't personally need excuses for why I'm not doing what I want with my life. People don't get that way by having kids - people who just can't because they have kids just never could. Which is kind of a central point here. But thanks for comming out.
