what made you decide to do what you do?

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?

People make too much of a big deal out of downtime, to the point that having to do anything is a problem because it interferes with what otherwisee could be downtime.
Are you implying that if every moment isn't family time, then family time is being compromised?
Sorry. If the child wasn't going to gym, I certainly hope she'd be out playing with friends and having fun that way. Not participating in family time.
Noper. That would be writing. "Picturing something as directed by another" is not the real beauty of imaginative ability. Its like colouring something in a colouring book. Not like drawing something original. Interactive entertainment, computer games, video games, allow the participant more opportunity to actually draw.
Anyway there is alot of mind numbing brainless trash out there for kids. Currently existing in a plethora of "chapter books about nothing at all existing for the sake of being chapter books". Parents by the zillions love them.
Spelling and vocabulary can be improved all over the place. From TV, to computer games, to video games, to movies, to talking and interacting with actual people.
The vocabulary thing is funny. Way back when, before nintendo was invented to take the heat, people blamed their kids bad vocabulary not just on tv, but also on the bad books they read.
You really dont seem to know much about running at all.

I'd have to say educational TV has taken away alot of the allure of books in terms of the whole bridging of communities thing.
Actually, some of the most bizzare perspectives on realities I've actually experienced, have come from people who "read too much" and "do too little". The written word can be a very dangerous tool. Lots of people mistake fiction for fact in this realm for some reason. Its worse than TV. Especially with the authors who actually do a great job of researching their work - the gp seems to completely loose their abilty (if they ever had it) to understand where the fact ends and the fiction begins.
