In the interest of changing the subject back to something that is actually relevant to a SAH/WOH debate (LOL!), I will pose a question to anyone who wants to answer:

Who or what would you say was the greatest influence on your decision to SAH or WOH, whichever one you do (or want to do, if you aren't doing what you want)? Did any particular person, circumstance, situation, or anything else lead you to decide this question one way or the other?

What if two different influences conflicted? How did you make the decision then?

Lol, again you obviously know nothing about running. When running, one should be able to keep a conversation flowing. If someone is running to where they are gasping and cannot speak, they need to slow down.

Are you *sure* you are so physically active??????

That is your opinion and thank goodness it is all yours and not mine!

I don't want to try more playstation or playstation 2 either one.

We do get stuck in the house but no playstation isn't the only option (there you go assuming way out on that limb unattached to a tree again, oops you just fell again). Playstation is one of many options, including going outside to play and sled, geesh, who would have thought that would be an option in the snow!

Thank goodness I don't live any farther north as I hate winter and despise snow. Ky doesn't see much of it, but we don't know how to handle 2 inches when we get it. No joke!

Our major highways are cluttered w/cars in the ditches and wrecks everywhere if we get a light skim of snow. You'd be truly amazed at how winter affects us here. Even the people north in Ohio and Illinois deal with it much better than us. We often don't even have enough salt if we get too many snow days in a winter. You'd think they'd learn by now, oh well. And when they don't salt the accident number rises even more.

Oh, well. Thats great. You are a perfect example of how people who aren't active and hate sports...can still be slim, trim and in shape. Fantastic. We can all hope to become diabetics. As I recall, the professionals neither take gd lightly, nor view it as a good thing.

Don't even pretend you didn't get my point.

OK, I'll explain it on a level you can't miss:

I HATE SPORTS. That is OK. You don't HAVE to like sports.

It is so completely ridiculous (and telling) that you picked out the most frivolous thing in my post to whine about... avoiding responding to my actual point that it is OK to not be involved in sports.

PUKKING TO AVOID OBSESITY - RATHER THAN GOING TO THE EXTREME OF TRYING TO HAVE AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE. What a great idea.

It took me 15 months to lose all of the weight from my first pg. I was wiped out, exhausted, and in retrospect I think I had a touch of PPD. Also, on medical advice, I stopped my regular exercise program during my first trimester in favor of light walking.

Moderate exercise helped, but I just was not able to get back in the swing of things very quickly. I lost the weight much faster the second time, but the shape, and the desire/focus on physical fitness, just isn't the same.

If your priorities and physical shape were totally unaltered by giving birth, more power to you. That's definitely not true for all of us. Don't you get 11 months of leave? I'd most likely have been able to get back into shape in that amount of time if I hadn't had to go back to work.

I dont think one can always control their *pukking* (Its "puking" by the way) when they are pg. What is your point? Getting a little frustrated because no one will rise to your endless baiting?

Well, hmmm, since I never called you a liar, and I never told you your husband should divorce you, all I can say is, stop making things up. Can you actually find those things...try to do it while keeping a whole thought intact, will you. See, I can do it without making anything up. I can do it for you, afterall. Try to see if you can include a whole post, that should be challenging.

Another non-answer. I'm hardly surprised. What 2-kid thing? nt
